the real beauty



how

did the rose

ever open its heart


and give to this world

all its

beauty?


it felt the encouragement of light

against its

being,


otherwise,

we all remain


too


frightened.

    This is the time for pondering on blooms as Spring delights the eye once again.
    A special poem to accompany it on its way!

    the rose blooms because it does not think of itself as apart from nature.
