REQUIEM FOR A ROYAL ROSE __________________________
For a petal to fall from a rose bud
it must first blossom in royal red hue;
they crowned you first and always in the blue
garden, a valley—where the prophecy’s nudge
would enliven and wake us from death first;
recall the mountains—of sapphire martyred.
You were a Queen of domains uncharted,
and minions hid themselves beneath your skirts.
There was a ringing of the depth of rest—
in all your nation’s wisdom, and your smile
never betrayed your deepest warmest heart.
There was rose of cordiality’s crest
in every traversed field and forest mile,
you, in each hospitable gesture, art.
--Emily Isaacson (excerpt from her unpublished poem, 2021)
Emily's Introduction . . .
Emily's Introduction . . .
I have walked through many streets, alleyways, parks, and even been invited in to many homes in my journey, yet the worn sandals and miracle moments only speak of the miles I have walked—not of the people I have met, learned from, and loved; those I have cherished, understood, and relinquished. The brokenness I have watched with an open heart, without judgment—and the lessons I have learned in restorative justice. The application of hope, faith, and promise to those in need of rehabilitation was traded at great cost.
There is a place where we move beyond merely educating people to bringing them the healing hope of reparation. They reach out and ask for answers, yet we must journey with them for many miles before they realize it was this path they wanted on the road to the divine.

What of the very dust of the earth when it is brittle and dry?
Could we not repent and our tears soak from
the sky, making wells in the desert.

What is a Wild Lily?
What is a Wild Lily?
Emily Carr wrote in her books about the fields of wild lilies in early British Columbia. If you are wondering what a wild lily is, well it refers in this case to any earth-bound lily in contrast to the gilded lily or fleur-de-lis.
Poetry Quote
Butterfly Tears
I once said I love you
and that love remains;
constant through years,
the blood in my veins.
I never will leave you,
be I poor or of wealth,
as the sun crosses the sky,
without guile, without stealth.
And though the ashes remain of our years,
they are sacred because of our butterfly tears.
--Emily Isaacson

Toward the replanting of a land—
once deserted, cold, and barren, still;
now citrus, and the olive, myrtle stand,
our pride in the distance, through the hills
spilling fine perfume and virgin oil.
Early songs still rise from temple mount
amid the prayers, centuries old toil.
