The Creed of Unitarian Roses and Unitarian Wind
Modern poetry modern verse contemporary poetry contemporary verse modern poem contemporary poem
The roses move, though in their nature they
Are stillness all, except in growth and death.
They vary in their colors. They display
Their variations, rose by rose. A breath
Of pink defines the outer petals of
One blossom, yet its petals inward show
A red desired by darkness. White above
All other whites, three other bushes glow.
A wind comes blowing through the rows and each
Rose moves the same but differently because
Of shape and spread. Such difference does not breach
Their unmoved unity. Their deeper laws
Mean blooms will always have one utter aim:
Their highest different beauties are the same.
