An Oasis

a harmonious landscape lingers deep in my memories - of a garden, 
     a dreamland of multi-coloured hues..cuckoos singing soulful melody, 
     blossoms of magnolia, marigolds beaming to a dawn of golden sun ~
                          
         purple hibiscus with velvety petals ~ sprawling satiny creepers,
       tall branches of serene evergreen, redbreast robin whistling merrily,
    hummingbirds chirp ebullient songs, boisterous squirrels search for nuts. 

      spreading latticed colourful wings, butterflies kiss the blushing flowers, 
         large leaves of willow create a comforting shade underneath, 
    leaves rustle with murmuring wind, ferns encircle radiant rose bushes, 
                               
     forming an oasis beyond imagination ~ a perfect recluse for poetic bliss ~

Dear Mala, I am entranced by your magic garden that is so colorful and full of song - a place of "bliss" that sparks your creative garden of inspiration. Wonderfully done my friend. Congratulations on your win! Sending you much love and blessings!
