Ode to The Red Rose. A Dedication to CrisSp.
The Charm and Elegance of The Rose

Charisma and Panache

O symbol of supernal beauty, Come!
Kiss our Heart-flames with your shimmering Light;
Touch every Soul with your rhapsody unparallel.
I feel your sweet scent; your garb of golden Light,
As your glowering warmth,
Enters the dark night, of each passing sorrow.
Come! Let us sing praises to the One,
In whose glory you now bask,
As you caress with Love,
The endless energy of each emotion.
I know that our Lord has given you,
The boon of quintessential charm.
So as to awaken in others,
A sparkling promise of a luminous tomorrow.
Fresh, fragrant; filled with elegance and excellence,
May you garlands continue to shine on the Spirit,
Soothing and adorning its lost splendour, and
Creating a beautiful radiance, in each yearning Soul.

words55 & manatita44: Well, life outside HP is quite overwhelming these days. I've been reading notes and updates but must apologize for not really responding in time. I hope all is well in your part of the world gentlemen and wishing you and yours a very happy and prosperous New Year!
I had to read this ode and listen to the words of the song again today! What a splendid tribute to CrisSp. She must be on a hiatus from HP during these holidays. God bless her.
You write with such a tender heart. The song is a wonderful extension to the heart-felt sentiments expressed in this lovely attribute to CrisSp.
aviannovice: Thank you Deb...that is so very lovely of you and I very much appreciate your kindness. And again to manatita44, thank you for sharing your God's gift with us.
As always, love to you both from the sky. ~
"I feel your sweet scent." You employ our senses in unique and effective ways. Beautiful poetry by you; beautiful rendition by Al.
She is definitely a rose, and a very bright spot in my life. Though she leads a busy life, she still finds time for us. Rock on, Cris, and my dear manatita!
Beautiful
Wonderful song sung by Word55(Al) too.
This is truly beautiful. You have a great gift in being able to use words so well. Blessings.
Hi Shauna (bravewarrior), Thank you for the kudos here. I admire your contributions as well. So, you'd like music set to one of your songs? You may write to me via "Fan Mail." We can take it from there.
Oh my goodness! I am speechless yet flattered! :) You are amazing and I couldn't thank you enough for this beautiful words and for your kind heart.
This is indeed beyond any lottery price. Just like what billybuc said in his latest hub, he's never been around the world but he's got friends all over. And, for that, I am richer than I think!
Thank you so much for the way you spread love and light manatita44 and for word55 for sharing his gift of music with us.
Of course, you have my votes here and absolutely sharing and pinning.
Love and twinkle to you from the sky~
How beautifully written.
There's nothing more beautiful than the rose. Your words brought that to light. Peace Always!!!
Again, you have captured the essence of God's beauty in the rose. You are a master wordsmith, always finding the exact expressions to share the glory from above. Be confident in your God-given talent knowing that it is He who placed this unique plan and purpose in your hand. Let your light so shine before men that Our God might be glorified through you. Be blessed.
Amazing poetry and the picture of soul of the rose!
What a beautiful and appropriate tribute to Cris!
Kudos to Word55 for putting music to your poetry. I've been looking for someone to do that for one of mine: Listen to Me, For the Earth I Plea.
I'm just about to go read Cris's latest, so this is perfect timing. The rose...your poetry....the epitome of beauty. :)
Such a nice message and heartfelt. You certainly have a command of emotion filled writing my friend. whonu
Uh oh, looks like the word adjustment/function took over and changed the spelling of Manatita somehow (in my previous comment) but we all know who you are :-)
A beautiful dedication to such a wonderful and special young lady. Magnetite, your impressions and expressions get better every day. Of course, that's a most beautiful song! God bless!
A beautiful poem dedicated to a beautiful lady, Manatita.
