Abstract: The Rose in the Middle of Winter Charles Bennett There’s a rose in the middle of winter a rose which has no thorn, into the garden it comes like a child who is waiting to be born. And while he waits for the rose to bloom the gardener sings – and the clouds all dance to his tune. There’s a bird in the middle of winter a bird whose song is a prayer, into our dreams it comes like a child who is almost here. And while he waits for the bird to sound the gardener sings – and the stars all dance in a round. There’s a child in the middle of winter a child like a flower in the snow, into our days he comes the child who is with us now. And while he listens to the song of a rose the gardener sings – and the child is a dance in his soul
