*ancient tenets
turned to dust
gently blown away
by whispered gusts
of love’s rebirth

the rose bush
has lost its thorns
with growth anew
the blossoms form
a new earth

I've just come across this pen a few days after first reading it (via Rk's re-post) and I must say your words strike the heart just as soundly as the first time I read it.

You are quite a prolific poet and I see a reoccurring theme of rebirth expressed one way or another. That is something I think is perhaps the unrecognized core of so many ancient sacred texts from the bible to the Bhagavad Gita. Very insightful.
