roses tease my senses
they tingle me to wake
their fragrance crosses fences
as I stand beside a lake

with mountains all around me
and roses near the shore
today it seems I've found the
place where roses roar.

in air moving rapidly
over ground through the trees
as a raven's calling happily -
one more thing to please

in a sensual nirvana
on a Tuesday afternoon
enjoying well earned karma
becoming more attuned

by roses permeating
every breath I breathe
sun drenched meditating
before I have to leave
