Petal by petal
your fragrance a soothing strength
unfolding with consistency
though your depth surpasses such a mundane word
eternal beauty,
poetic boldness,
even in your elegance
your protective thorns set the boundaries
though hinder not your graceful strength.
... and let us be the petal, the fragrance, the rose that rises above the thorns.

The color, the words, I can't decide which is more perfect!

I agree, Diogenes. Even Georgia O'Keeffe would have admired the beauty of this photo!

Hi Corey, Just ran across one of your pictures on Instagram under Victoria Magazine. It is of a bed with a black headboard - it is apparently in an upcoming book. Congrats!

Beautiful photo with beautiful words. Thank you. I dedicate it to the memory of Ruth Bader Ginsberg. She was and always will be the petal, the fragrance, the rose that rises above the thorns.
