A Flower's Gift
Scarlet sage' path...
feet rambling about the hill
of a quite woodland
with Carolina willows
and southern magnolias.
Lanky short-leaf pines
shade the milk-pea verdant shrubs;
petrels watch the swift,
mottled squirrels climb black oaks
while a cavalcade stirs them.
Hyacinths in bloom
have a stronger, sweeter scent
than the white jasmines...
is fragrance a flower's gift
to all lovers strolling by?
