Thank you for the honor and your hard work.
Roses’ Deity
Oh Aphrodite, your white roses
Bloom to honor your deity, a groom
Of reverence to unwavering gloom
That pricked himself and turned them reds.
Yet those peaceful doves bestow
Calm innocence facing despair
With only thorns as weapons to repair
The damage done to the chaos that’ll blow
Up in the faces of those who’ve
Forgotten the hymns of gratitude
That revel in atonement embued
In simple living, where new beginnings have
Been lauded for their vision
Of graceful kindness, given, returned,
Through the fragile fairness, whose scent attracted
Its audience into presiding over confusion
With leadership in radiance,
Transparent in its intentions,
Gracious in its need for interventions
That create connections, reverence
For simple human kindness.
