Love and Reason - Creative Souls Challenge Poem #12

"Love and Reason" by Nixon Waterman

The lily's lips are pure and white without a touch of fire;
The rose's heart is warm and red and sweetened with desire.
In Earth's broad fields of deathless bloom the gladdest lives are those
Whose thoughts are as the lily and whose love is like the rose.



Elements from Holliewood's "Stark" and "Rose" kits.
