Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it.

 Written on Shobana's Walls: Real beauty comes from within.

The dark and lovely Shulamite from Shunem, the village in the Jezreel Valley,

She is depicted as the Rose of the Sharon and the Lily of the Valley,

And imagines herself a wildflower of the humble yet radiant open plains.

She famously resists King Solomon's courtship declaring

"Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it."

(What a lovely sentiment to profess love for her beloved, a humble shepherd from her

homeland).

Taken from my new book of Christmas poems, The Scent of Christmas.

A book of poems to enchant you with the beauty that's love.

Once upon a Christmas Eve, I sat in the drawing room, a steaming cup

of hot chocolate in hand, and read a book of poetic tales that enveloped me with the

nostalgia of enchantment, love, and beauty - a potpourri of emotions.
