I am a red rose

Inspired by exploration of the Divine Feminine…

I am a red rose

Vibrant, sensual, beautiful

The world sees my outer petals

Alluring, slightly torn

Only I know my deepest centre

The tightly furled perfect petals

Completely tranquil

Divine core, ever present

The sunshine and clouds

Move over me

Light and shadow

My beauty remains

Fragile and strong at the same time

The wind shakes my leaves

But the bud stays still

In peaceful knowing

Belonging only to its Divine self

But here in the world, rain and shine

Though storms may shake me

I'll return and return

To that protected sacred centre

Beauty, simplicity

Perfect peace
