Hopeful...



Teary drops slide slow down the gentle sloping of each of her silken petals.
She is wet with the night's rain and the now dense morning dew in drops. 
She is again slick, sleek and ponderously heavy with the water drop drop weight 
as it clings and it slides itself.

Awash in the grayness of the strongly filtered morning light she waits.
Cautious has become her nature, 
as the stem on which she is perched bends and sometimes trembles 
under the heavy weight of all that she is, 
and all that she has become.

    Lynn~ Thank you so much dear, sweet Lynn! I am 'taking a bit of a break;' posting maybe 1-2/X's a week this summer as my kids are home. But I enjoyed this post and as I wrote, the watery weight and the rose itself captured my imagination..
    The rose became a 'symbol' if you will, of a women carrying the weight of the forces of life (and nature;)the things which press in upon us from time to time--which we all endure...but we do remain ever hopeful [of change, growth, strengthening...(and of eventual release.)] God's grace is good and He (alone) is perpetually involved in the intricacies of our lives.
