Sunday Morning Rose


Come slowly, Eden!

Lips unused to thee,

Bashful, sip thy jasmines,

As the fainting bee,

Reaching late his flower,

Round her chamber hums,

Counts his nectars --enters,

And is lost in balms!

(Emiliy Dickinson)

Sunday Morning Light

Roses at my kitchen window.

I bought them yesterday
at the farmers' market.
They are true survivors,
they persevered through
days of torrents of rain.

A kind farmer
brought them from Czechia,
and now they brighten
my Viennese kitchen.

May all your Sundays
be filled with light!

  13. Such perfect, pink confections! My roses, while smelling heavenly, have all looked a little ragged this summer. These are wonderful...

    Hope your Sunday was also lovely.
