ALL IN, FOR THE ROSEATE

 

ALL IN, FOR THE ROSEATE

There must be rosaries of the roses

I thought as a little girl

Not Catholic but enchanted with the word

In love with the roseate world

Perhaps I will make now  another

Petal bright secretly drifting excursion

Time travel trip back to my roselands

My secret roselands

Another fairytale attempt to visit

The secret whispering secrets of the roses

On the rose bushes in the corner of our yard

Among themselves, I want to be a denizen

Of the place made out of roses

You cannot imagine how serious I am about this

I am all in for the roseate

For the roses heaped up forever

Under a rose filled sky.
