The rose window ignites our metaphors

The rose window ignites our metaphors.
More than mandala, more than prayer wheel.
it divides our branching integrity by fours                          
and in that circumference we live and heal.
The rose window ignites our metaphors.

Orbs confound and delight our eyes
reminding how all things seek their center,
and we ourselves take wholeness for our prize
when we circle our inner sanctums. And enter.
The rose window ignites our metaphors.
