Unveiling of a hidden rose

Posted by well-wisher on February 11, 2012 - 12:50
from the ABC set Poems

Between the gold and diamond hours,
a rose called sunset blooms;
a flower for all lonely hearts
to rouse them from their gloom;
for while they wait to gaze
on bright inner vistas of love
theirs, to hold, is all the world
and the beaded skies above.

Thank you, Jenny.

My life's not wasted if I can make a thing of beauty; something that makes people smile.

Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks, Magic.

One of my favourite books, as I was growing up, was the Oxford Book of Quotations. I love those phrases that have stood the test of time; proverbs and quotes from old authors and I try my best to
imitate them.
