Flowering, immaculate
grows the winter rose
inside of you
Your soul, in wonderment,
expresses its form
But hush..
wait just awhile
for the soft breath of the merciful divine
is flowing within you
And a light will be lit that never dims
by day it illuminates your acts
by night, your dreams
Feel how the divine love enfolds you
Rest now secure in her arms
while your angel spreads her wings
above the Rose in Blessing
"By day it illuminates your acts / by night, your dreams". So movingly expressed, and offering hope through the dark hours of winter. But more than this, these lines offer endurance: the endurance to withstand these winter times which come to our own lives, and the peace of heart that flows from such loving reassurance. Thank you, Emma.
