Reply to "ROSES"

Nice of you to bring back the roses post.
They are all starting to bloom in my garden,
somewhat late this year due to the cold spring that we had.

...From th moment you came into the manifest world,
a ladder was offered for your escape.
From mineral substance you became a living plant,
and later a roving animal. Is this a secret?
Afterwards, as a human being,
you developed reason, consciousness, faith,
See how the body has risen from the dust like a rose...
