The Cardinal and the Rose

Listen to poem:

Quote: Both the enchantress and the siren charmer are part of the same one. Fired red wings on the breath of a dawning he lifts and soars towards life, a breath away from sunrise, chittering before he takes swing this cardinal of beauty knows how to sing she a rose in a luscious garden of pure love a blush of pink dotted with pistil and grace a daylight sea of beauty sent from above daybreak breaks and a flower opens her face both the cardinal and the rose are essential to our well being we need their reverence. He a sign of longevity so reverential, she a sign of love and courage in her essence we find the echantress in all of our selves in his, we find a siren charmer who delves.

cardinals are supposed to be direct messengers from heaven; I believe this myself, and am glad you honored the cardinal with this beauty

This is beautiful Mystic Rose, and so very true <3 The cardinal and the rose, such peace and love in the beholder's eyes! My oldest sister reminded loved ones that when you see a cardinal, you have a visitor from heaven! Roses help us with heartache, this poem is filled with beauty and peace. A favorite with me <3
