Self explanatory--we have all experienced the loss of one we care deeply for in some manner or fashion. When that happens, what is left?? Such a painful, yet all too real, fact of life.~~Maia
WHEN THE ROSE IS GONE
When the rose is gone and the garden faded
you will no longer hear the nightingale's song.
The Beloved is all; the lover just a veil.
The Beloved is living; the lover a dead thing.
If love withholds its strengthening care,
the lover is left like a bird without care,
the lover is left like a bird without wings.
How will I be awake and aware
if the light of the Beloved is absent?
Love wills that this Word be brought forth
