Happy Valentines Day

A poem for Valentines Day

Sweet Rose

By Sharon Gibson

Oh to be a rose, Silent and Sweet

To be keen in hunger, resonant thunder

Be wept upon, but not to weep

Dried by the sun, warmed by its constant hum and throb

My essence strains, rising up and out of me

Releasing a sound, small labour pains, a scent, a crisp voice on a chilly day, that which you call air.

Knees bare beneath grassy foam, rocks interwoven with bent and bruised legs that they have claimed as their own.

Top soil, I’m free!

Free as the bare shouldered moon and her beautiful garden of molton stars

I dance with the wind if he is gentle

But if he is cruel, I laugh like a sunlit shard, it pierces his heavy cloak, releasing him to higher ground.

Services resume tomorrow

Happy new year to you all. How are those new year resolutions coming along? Rosebud sessions resume tomorrow at the Mulberry Children’s Centre.
