Floating Forgiveness

down the jasmine river the smell of orange blossoms fruity perfume wafts across your white canoe floating through lillies luscious with enchanting ideas flowing through a canyon of dreams lotus flowers crowd your bow the porcelain twilight catches in a tiger's eye opal fire amid the tapering fingers of the day come my way oh irridescent soul nostalgic ghost of days long gone thy balm must bring surcease trinkets tied upon thy wrists jingle with sweet memories hanging gardens await you wreaths of cherry blossoms turn your topaz eyes to me I'll serve forgiveness in a tea sterling silver chamomile come to me and live awhile perhaps then I shall too.
