Notes About The Poem

The Petal's Voice Mr

Delicate petals in hues of pink, Passionate scarlet, gold and ginger Silently breathing, laughing In the breeze with gentle impressions Subtle whispers, notes so faint, Beautiful blessings – swaying The dance, pure perfection, shifting From soft and timid to simply vehement Pale shades of cerulean and frosty Lavender, hushing the rain as it clings To each petal, dripping away the stardust Wonders from the nocturnal promises Beckoning to the mystery of a joy So alive, striving to survive the timeless Urgency of a shy flower who remembers Painting the world in memories Daring fragrance, scented like the sun Warming the spirit and assuring The entire soul that there is a promise Bleeding through the thorns, Arising like the moon, glowing merrily In the garden, where there is The knowing that the rose inside my heart… Bends to kiss away every sadness, Murmuring hope and love Through the shadows, into the moments When pure peace surpasses Every melancholic sign of the past, Venturing into the present To relieve even the echo of a doubt This is the breathless grace Shining through the life who believes In the wild and welcome joy That comes from listening to the rose, It’s peace and everything that blends Into the serenity of a faith Far wiser and warmer than any certainty. This rose inside my heart Is the flower budding with trust, The promise of a beautiful Far sweeter than the fragrance Hinting at the affection within, Where light blends with The song of love that can never Go beyond the earnestness Sincere as the caress of a prayer, Yearning for a blessing so tender As the rose inside my heart Remembers… This is the calm that kisses away Even the memory of depression This is the tranquil that heals, With its balm of stillness, melted Together with mercy and believing, Reassuring the soul there’s a reason For listening to the petal’s voice – It is the voice of grace, the intimacy Of an embrace, the joy in the dance Between dewdrop miracles, Wonders that teach me to praise!

This is so beautiful Regina, the poem in its entirety. These words "Arising like the moon, glowing merrily, In the garden, where there is The knowing that the rose inside my heart…Bends to kiss away every sadness, Murmuring hope and love..."
