Sweet Mimosa

~To hold as 't were, the mirror up to nature… How sweet the Mimosa’s aromatic lure with lumbering roots stretching and digging deep. Leaning this way, that way as bodies mature soaking up the rain, letting pure elements seep. Spindly extensions that extrude really wide draping rich earth bed where fallen blossoms dried. Mimosa’s budding flower a sweet perfume captivates senses with each coral red bloom. Copyright © 2011 By Caryl S.
