In reality we are all gardeners, wandering through the gardens of life gently placing our seeds into the mouth of the Earth. Drifting through seasons, anticipating the first glimpse of Spring's splendour of sights a new promise, a new beginning, a new love. Butterflies and bees, make love to the fragility of blossoms - embellishing nature's passions. In my personal oasis, princess of petals plants her love, within the garden of my heart. Fragrance of her flower garden, leaves me silently breathless, as we bloom in the vapours of our love. Yet not all gardens are sincere. Wilted path of premature petals, leads to an unkempt province. Walloping weeds wander through naked rose stems with blood thirsty thorns and I wonder, dismayed, why anyone would neglect their garden, when did cultivation become a crime? So I remain, away from the darkness, upon the silent bed of our own roses, content with the honeysuckle, suckling and soothing our souls.

Well said; reminds of something an old (strange--that's me now), wise person once told me. God takes care of the birds but he doesn't throw seed in their nests. Therefore, with a little effort, in fact the joy of co-creating is a miracle of omnipotence that is ours to freely take part in if we so wisely choose. Love the photography as well. Great job!!

Such a clever poem- as gardeners we sew the seeds of faith, but are we all genuine and sincere, or do we allow the weeds to creep in. An absolute fav. for me. Thank-you for sharing. Hugs, Jennifer.

I feel your heart in every word. You are holding the one you love so close- her petals are so bright and beautiful. You could never pollute another garden. There are so many moments within, emotions tangling each other. Truth about life and love combine here in your words. ~ Brandy

'In reality we are all gardners wandering through the gardens of life'. How very true, a simple analogy, yet so complex at the same time. "There is more pleasure in making a garden than in contemplating a paradise." - Anne Scott-James. And if I can add to that it inspires amazing poetry like yours. A fave as always....Maria Hugs
