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
