~remembered fragrance~

All things have turned
And what once lingered as pain
Within my heart has now blossomed
Into a white rose; the smell of which
Clings upon my soul

The deluge of rain poured upon me
Fostered fertility of spirit-
A soil in which to grow;
And allowed healing of my heart
And space for truth to flow

I long with wonder now
At which way I am to go
But understand that it’s in the walking
That I can find my way
Back home.

This remembered fragrance
My solitary Rose
It guides me like a angel to
The places within my heart
That I have always known
