Forever....and a one...

Im not a fan of roses, getting them that is, but I do love to photograph them...this was just a simple rose, with a few PS edits.

Nadia Ali's song came to mind with this image / poem - Is It Love. Another favorite is Who Is Watching. Her voice is flawless...

Rumi

From the beginning of my life
I have been looking for your face
but today I have seen it.

I am bewildered by the magnificence
of your beauty
and wish to see you
with a hundred eyes.

I am ashamed
to call this love human
and afraid of God
to call it divine.

Your fragrant breath
like the morning breeze
has come to the stillness of the garden.

You have breathed new life into me
I have become your sunshine
and also your shadow.

My soul is screaming in ecstasy
every fiber of my being
is in love with you.

Your effulgence
has lit a fire in my heart
for me
the earth and sky.

My arrow of love
has arrived at the target.

I am in the house of mercy
and my heart
is a place of prayer.
