My poet friend Sara J Griffin seemed to have the post-birthday blues, so via text I asked her what her favorite flower was. She told me it is the Rose. So I told her Roses Rock and I’d be back in a couple of hours, and about an hour and twenty minutes later, I sent her this, telling her the likeness didn’t do her justice, but I think I got some of her Vitality. She is quite vital, and very much a force for Creative Greatness.

Rose & Sara

Revels of random Holiness
Of Waldorf and Astoria
Secure and power a girl and Flower
Engage and transit Gloria

The last line riffs off the famous Latin saying “Sic transit gloria mundi,” which translates “Thus the Earth’s glory passes.” Roses pass through briefly, the Earth’s glory comes and goes, and Sara J Griffin is visiting us, on her way to a higher plane of existence.
