Blake
Jorge Luis Borges

Where will the rose in your hand exist
that lavishes, without knowing, intimate gifts?
Not in colour, because the flower is blind,
nor in the sweet inexhaustible fragrance,
nor in the weight of the petal. Those things
are sparse and remote echoes.
The real rose is more elusive.
Perhaps a pillar or a battle
or a firmament of angels, or an infinite
world, secret and necessary,
or the joy of a god we will not see
or a silver planet in another sky
or a terrible archetype lacking
the form of the rose.

  1. Gorgeous of course, I don’t know who doesn’t love a rose? 😉 Lovely words and the Elvis Costello song is so sad. At least, ” It’s been a good year for the roses”. Wishing you a wonderful day! ~ Mia 🙂

      • You’re welcome! I love sad songs, I was probably a Torch Singer in a previous life, ha-ha! 🙂 Elvis Costello is amazing. My week has been good thank you, I’m so happy that you had a good time!
        *Hugs* ❤
