Alone in the garden, I breathe the besotted scent of vermilion frangipani. I listen to the wind, the charm and seductive songs of the mockingbirds. Beyond sinking flames of the quenching thirst of twilight, devouring the sky in a dramatic and beautiful display of artistry. Walking together with luscious sounds, the wind carries in the dreams so long ago. Leaving an infuse brush feather kiss upon the wine ripples pellucid water. Mist rolls leisurely downs an ancestral pyramid, swallowing the full of exotic demanding menagerie standing in its wake, urging them to get lost in the wilds of the craggy slopes. Alone in the garden, enchanting grounds where all linger slumber sounds. 1/10/2018

Beautiful. And it reminds me again, that whilst I am working a lot in my garden, I have to listen to its heart so much more...
