In Her Garden

The flowers here share space among tomatoes and squash Cascading colors of red, purple, white and green bursting out Tinkling bell of flute songs arise to tell all is well Grace of the chime’s call lures me to the garden’s waterspout I let bare toes savor cool textures of the greenest cut grass Inviting a repose, I pull up a chair next to the red rose Watching bees spread their joy to her flowers in fragrant mass I feel the ripening glow of red juiciness against skin begin My body flutters like the leaves of the apple tree Alive with the energy and calm found in abundance here I roam the garden in tranquility, completely carefree Enjoy a garden cocktail full of nature’s bliss and kiss
