Rosebuds
Pucker up awaiting
…The kiss of sunrise
The ground hog watches
As squirrels play tail tag
Thinks…..grasshoppers and ants
Are snails ever late returning home
An old cat contemplates
To chase or not to chase
….the tail torments
Late for a webinar
A spider resorts to
....Dining... on the fly

Before the hot torch of the heavens fades,
And short shadows lengthen into long shades,
Quick set all your seeds lest the fast Fall frost,
Will bite at your bones ‘til your fruits are tossed.

Crown yourself with rosebuds
Some are granted with mystic visions,
able to create choices by different decisions.
The dual vision in contemplation of correspondence,
the saintly sinner, God’s grace and his tolerance.
The rose with its lower stage of roots and thorns,
the necessary precursor to the crown of petals it forms.
The light of the sun and the rose are inseparable,
images of beauty immeasurable.
Awareness of the transitory nature in mortal realm,
to conquer the fleshly will and redeem.
The soul knows she is more then heart and mind,
the old seeks the new image towards divine kind.
Leaps of consciousness and substances are born,
mystical experiences transform.
The sensitivities of the soul are heighten,
deliberate flaws by virtue enlighten.
The existence and to act upon,
the cosmic ocean enlighten action.
Potential rise within the realm,
mystery in mysteries, is the emanation psalm.
For we are what we emanate,
constant decisions of faith.

One rose budding
all silken wrapped
in soft pink
petal feelings
parting emotions
Her heart blushing
red crimson passion
intensity grows
beating love starts
slave of desire
Flying on wings
pollinating
rising tension
excitement landing
on nectar
tasting sweet mead
Desiring royal jelly
queened goddess
beautiful honey
you bloom so sweet
wearing the heart's core
embraced in love
