Velvet Rose

From the earth
She reaches skyward
To touch a heart

Her sweetness
Leaves bitterness in retreat
As she sings

For her soul
Is made of love and joy
Wrapped in velvet

She dances
On the summer breeze
To nature’s tune

She is the flame 
That never fades nor dies
Yet does not burn

For in the rose
All spirits dwell and smile
For this is love
