Roses in the bouquets,
shining at the counter,
projecting love, light,
beauty into the universe.
Roses like parchment,
at least in their colors,
rimmed edges of blood,
of the deepest red...
Roses living in the water,
their bodies full of life,
gifts to us to cherish,
to give to someone we love.
Roses so softly shining,
a gift of the earth,
together offered, open,
to share in this world.
