I live my life
like the peach rose
who opens up
to the morning sky
coloured with stillness
as the sunrise
lifts me higher
than the unfurling branches
of an Autumn birch
and I celebrate myself
with Mother nature
tucked softly inside my heart...

Wow.
This is quite lovely and incorporates all of my favorite things.
How beautifully soft in texture and color and I am particularly fond of the unfurling branches of an Autumn birch...
A lovely image. Wonderful poetry in this. Thank you. ~Pamela

I like the living life like the rose open to the sky, its stillness lifting as a celebration of nature in your heart.
An expanding entry.

Very good incorporation of those 3 things, I hav to say.
"who opens up
to the morning sky"
Excellent imagery.
"coloured with stillness"
Sounds like a painting to me!! Brilliant phrase here.
Very poetic and full of your typical soft imagery. Good luck
