Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.
~ Buddha
Rose of all the worlds, Rose of
The pretty dawns, arise from rain
And dew, insatiable symbols of the new
Spring as old as Nights, God claims
your little cries, singing passwords
Down the years, love sings and never
Ceases, only changes hands, throats, hearts
Rose of all Roses, each brilliant hour
Seize for extinction waits, in starry mirth
To begin again, and again, in forums of light
Forms of water and oxygen, do not fret
Gather all your love into a woven silence
To smile from pale dawns, where you shall
Speak no more, God’s bell has claimed
A thousand trips of sound, for churches
That now stand empty, and centuries forgotten
Rose stand still, in pink and white
That we might spot you from afar, around the bend
Rose of dear battle, Rose of life
Love is the last release from worldly strife.
You’ve done it again, wuji!! Your poetry is incredible!
OH gorgeous 🙂
Brilliantly written, your poetry has a profound impact. From the first line to the last, I nearly found myself nodding in agreement. Beautifully worded, and a strong message. Thank you for this.
Thanks for the great review Michael!
