How is an Intimate Relationship like a Fragrant Red Rose?

February 28, 2012/in Prose/by Benita Esposito

When our intimate relationships flourish, our lives radiate joy and we rest in deep peace. Our bodies feel healthy, and we naturally uplift those around us with our very presence.

Spiritual and human intimacy fill us with beauty, just like the perfume of a beautiful red rose.

Can you remember the last time you bent down to smell a rose and lingered in its fragrance?

Scented roses are very rare, and so is fulfilling romantic love. It can be the most challenging form of love, and yet it yields the deepest sweetness.

The Beckoning Moon

February 28, 2012/in Prose/by Benita Esposito

A day’s work comes to a close.
Driving down the highway, homeward bound,
Feeling content, peaceful, and happy.

The softly lit full moon, fringed with a fuzzy glow,
rests against a blanket of puffy faint clouds.
Tiny lightening bolts toss pink and yellow streaks across the sky.
Flashes of color decorate the tranquil masterpiece.
Shadowy outlines of trees draw lacy curtains over the moon.

The sweet fragrance of my perfume,
gentle sounds of jazz filling my ears,
winding around the curves,
rolling up and down the hills,
absorbed with nature’s expansive beauty.

Wishing you were here beside me
to share my joy and feel the beauty of this moment.

Mountain Sunset

February 28, 2012/in Prose/by Benita Esposito

Walking across the dam tonight,
breathing in a full deep breath of
360 degree mountain views.
Misty clouds hover overhead
While the sparkling cloudburst
fires up the magenta sunset.
The full moon glistens
a streak of white light
across the quiet blue lake,
while the locusts sing a chant,
and fire flies
blink gold
on and off,
on and off.
