Hydrangea Influence

Hydrangea Influence Pull of gravity drawn on the senses, hydrangea scent Fragrance bliss, orgasmic burst, flowering forth Explains beauty one petal at a time in naked white Flavors come on nasal whiffs in flight Fragile buds nod to blossoms under the glacial moon Delicately delicious invisible friends seen once again Spread up ahead on garden paths On wings of spring Past the river, nature at its best begins When growing wild in the woods Blossoms form, born perfect just in time Birth of aroma, breath inhales, forgets to let it go Love on the stem and leaves fill up imaginations Displayed on gray days, nature dances, pollen laughs Garden mesmerized, on its knees, satiated under breeze Earth submits, to the tease, seasons color strokes Memory knows flowers from the dirt Moves the Earth to drink it in Discerning, blown open, flirting with the wind Without a voice without a sound on softer ground Spoken only on the breeze in leisure Tranquil undergrowth abounds Honey layered, thick as lust Purer than a woman’s womb Thrusting forth perfumes Hydrangeas fill the need of spring Shimmer under moon light in naked white Light up mid night for those who want to know Aromas are not allowed to lie in flower beds They seek out noses on their own and spread Hydrangeas know exactly what to do While filling up exhausted souls, exhaling truth Before the beauty, love comes first

Hi Jan, Thank you. I hope you are feeling well. This one was anything but simple. I did about 20 re-writes over the past 4 days. I'm happy with it now. One of the best aromas in nature is the hydrangea. We had giant white ones on display by our front door. Our landscapers killed them along with many other trees and shrubs on our property. I was at work so I couldn't stop them. Such is life. I'm glad you enjoyed my little creation. Take care. Earl
