--Sonnet (Untitled)-- 3-11-07

Like ribbons-- wide and swirling swaths of light
That capture moving rhythms-- colour-filled
Expressions-- budding, bursting full and bright
With pulsing life force vibrant, pure, distilled
Into a figure: nature's fairest rose.
A blossom crowned with glory-- filled with fame
That bridges ages past to those more close--
As petals bend to trumpet loud the name
Amidst the crowd. A moment passes-- hush--
With tender homage paid by rev'rent lips
Caressing nature-- springtime's gentlest blush
Arrayed-- a fragrance breathed in hearty sips.
It stands majestic, proud and tall in bloom
So frail, yet strong-- one rose can fill a room.

Erica, I never knew you were a poet--very impressive. I also didn't know about your blog until just recently and love reading it. Call me to chat sometime or you are welcome to come over anytime.

Don't limit yourself and don't let others convince you that you are limited in what you can do. Believe in yourself and then so as to reach your possibilities. You can achieve what you believe you can. Trust and believe and have faith. ~ President Thomas S. Monson
