    Poem Commentary

    One of my old ones from my vault of yesteryear, however it has taken on a new Blossom as I grow with my subtle soulmate! Thank you for sharing your time with me. . .

    The Rose Eternal

     The Rose Eternal

    A Rose is a Rose no matter how hard the breeze blows

    When the stem has ceased to grow and all the petals

    have fallen

    And its beauty is scattered with the wind

    Then will it reform in heaven to be replaced on earth

    again

     

    Maybe not in the same soiled place, but always with

    the exact subtle grace

    Planting its gentleness in souls that will fade long

    before the flower

    Is it a wonder the rose is a metaphor of love in its

    full array

    For true love never dies, nor does a rose

    They but take on a new blossom with the passing

    of each ethereal day

    Beautifully done, soulwriter. I love that you brought the full life cycle and new birth of the flower into the piece as part of its eternal beauty...my mother's name was Rose and she passed when I was young...this was a precious reminder that her beauty will remain forever immortalized both symbolically and in heart. :-)

    Love this,,,,same idea with my Aphrodite,,,.....but it is about eternal beauty because of cycle..its always my belief...eternity is cycle...not linear...

    Have you ever picked a rose for a loved one and then returned back to the same bush later only to find out that 2 roses have grown in it's place. In all that gloom and despair that surrounds us in our world today we often forget about the true beauty that is always there. That is why we have poets their passion is to ensure that the true beauty of the world never be forgotten. You my friend are just that, a poet. Thank you for sharing.

    I have looked at roses bright and colorful--I've watched as they died and blew away--such as a love I had withered, but the memory will stay...

    Many of us are blessed at least one time in our life to discover a beautiful rose, the test is in loving and nurturing it to keep it alive and blossoming. Thank you for your insightful comments.

    This poem is absolutely beautiful. Your words are strung together so nicely, beyond anything i could probably do.

    No - never beyond what you can do, for what you do you do for yourself and then it is up to others to discover your art and to be blessed by it. Thank you for your kind words bestowed upon me!

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.
