I am life, I am the eye of the morning.
I awaken to the sun's caress upon my face,
I stretch my limbs, my heart is sent soaring
By a summer's dawn of flemish lace.
My petals bedewed are set in motion,
As the flowing mist seems to curl,
Forming a womblike ocean,
Mixing with the tidal swirl.
I am the kiss of the day,
Beauty neverending,
I am the stuff of prose,
I am the bouquet of love that you're sending,
For I am life; I am the rose.
