Heart, Afraid of Breaking...

In my friends' garden, this achingly beautiful pink rose was shining through the autumn colours, and the incessant rain! Oh, and its perfume is just intoxicating! (cropped)

"It's the heart afraid of breaking

That never learns to dance.

It's the dream afraid of waking

That never takes the chance.

It's the one who won't be taken

Who cannot seem to give;

And the soul afraid of dying

Who never learns to live."

 

Bette Midler, "The Rose"
