Rose of Charan<\/p>\n
By<\/p>\n
Radiance Angelina Petro<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The quiet gardener moves among the flowers,<\/p>\n
with his camera, like a fragrant, living breeze.<\/p>\n
His smile encourages blooming and blossoming.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He meticulously arranges the leaves with all the attention<\/p>\n
to detail as a spider spinning its web.<\/p>\n
He considers the slant of the light, he notices shadows<\/p>\n
and brushes them away with a wave of his hand.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He bends closely\u2014focusing on the rose he wants.<\/p>\n
You look up at him, blushing in the face of a greater sun. Then<\/p>\n
the shimmering pause\u2014the exquisite anticipation.<\/p>\n
Remember this moment<\/p>\n
forever.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
His focus sure, the brightness unblemished, his hands steady,<\/p>\n
his keen and tender gaze\u2014parental and fixed.\u00a0 The shutter opens,<\/p>\n
the exposure perfectly timed. He snaps the picture\u2014capturing you forever<\/p>\n
in his eyes, in his heart, in his journey to the sea.<\/p>\n
