Rose Of Life

by Ellie LeJeune

I am unfolding gently beneath
your loving touch
Becoming
I let wholeness breath my
petals free
Awareness
Sweet fragrant Spirit touching
senses into life
Wisdom
Giving beauty back to the universe
Knowing
Each petal, sweet miracle of life
Oneness
We are hues of color, yet one
in Spirits blossom                                                                                                                                                                        

Life Is Like A Rose

Before It Lives

A Seed Planted In The Womb Of The Earth, Unnourished
Meaningless, Unliving
Awating The LifeBlood Of The Earth That Surrounds It

Life Is Like A Rose

Then Growth Begins
A Seedling, Sprouting Forth In An UnKnown World
Living, Developing, A Challenge
Growing Within The Earth And Feeding Off It's Mother

Life Is Like A Rose

The Birth Of A Flower
Leaving The Security Of It's Mother
Maturing, Learning, Growing
Exploring It's New World With The Innocence Of A Child

Life Is Like A Rose

The Flower Blooms Giving To The World The Beauty Of Itself
Sharing, Giving, Adulthood
Spreading It's Blossoms For The World To See And Enjoy

Life Is Like A Rose

The Flower Withers
Feeling The Chill Of Fall And Nearing Death
Aging, Remembering, Contentment

Life Is Like A Rose

The Flower Dies
An End To A Full Life In A, Frosty Night
Cold, Lifeless, An Ending
The Flower Returns To The Earth, From Where It Came

Life Is Like A Rose
