Delicate Rose

Tones of softness fill 
the morning watch unfurled 
passion scriptures sting still 
throbbing to be read again 
petrichor wanders free after 
quenching the fires of Earth 

Breathe in these sacred gifts of life 
mounted to my soul 
swim in these tears of pain 
for they only carry hope 
drop down on your knees beside me 
where eyes meet marrow's bend 

Fill me with your solemn songs 
enriched with a patient repose 
cast me with your air's afloat 
as I inhale you, my delicate rose
