Rose of all Roses, Rose of all the world!
You, too, have come where the dim tides are hurled
Upon the wharves of sorrow, and heard ring
The bell that calls us on; the sweet far thing.
Beauty grown sad with its eternity
Made you of us, and of the dim grey sea.
Our long ships loose thought-woven sails and wait,
For God has bid them share an equal fate;
And when at last, defeated in His wars,
The have gone down under the same white stars,
We shall no longer hear the little cry
Of our sad hearts, that may not live nor die
-from The Rose of Battle
W.B. Yeats
The life of a rose,
between sunshine and shade
Dew kissed and windblown ~ as roses we are made.
-`-`-
The Flowers of Spring
delight the eye,
Winter-weary ~
beholding the snow
laden sky.
-`-`-
The Flowers of Summer
riotious gay ~
Climbing and
sprawling, like children
at play.
-`-`-
The Flowers of Autumn
reflect but a while,
Summer sun's glow the
fast-fading smile,
Spring, Summer and Autumn bud, blossom and bloom ~
-`-`-
Here but a moment ~
dispelling the gloom.
Let us love then, and live
caring, sharing anew,
Each brief precious day
as the Rose dear, be true.
Oldest Gaian friend.
Thanks for still talking to me <3
