My Garden

Breathe deeply, know my garden's air
Colors burst, from flowers that share
Fragrant petals, some fall undone,
on stones that lay under the sun

A lazy stream, lays to the side
Where undergrowth wraps, flowers hide
The day is spent, butterflies play
Lifts the soul, gives a serenade

See periwinkles near myrtle trees
Watch roses dance, from a warm breeze
Please, stop awhile and share the view
My garden is free and here for you
