Cradled By Petals

I stroll beneath lavish trees exploring the break of morning freely, and through a swarm of boughs' embrace jasmines twirl around the edges like a mystical dance of floral sway , their perfume...haunting. A light breeze awakens,while crystal dew grows quiet, as if grasses were holding their breaths. Now laying on soft cradle of petals, my world becomes Aurora's dome: I forget that I'm old - that I'm expiring; though I know it is here I can rest in my secret garden of limitless dreams.

oh is this for the limits contest? I got to the last line and saw "limitless" Amazing imagery, Nette. The last part also reminds me of Under the Dome, the tv show where people truly might be dying! Instead, your dome is above beautiful petals.

The "grasses holding their breath" is a wonderful stroke - gives the whole a loving feel. The petals are, of course, heavenly soft. Love, daver

Hello Nette!! Beautifully done. Each of your wonderful verses take the reader along with you as you build toward "My Secret Garden" in the final verse. Superb Orchestration here. The final verse: "In my secret garden of limitless dreams," says it all. A "7" + FAV!! Cheers and Best, Gary
