My perennial garden is peaceful and tranquil A timeless place of beauty where calmness will instill Vibrant blooms emanate sweet and savory scents No fake or synthetic wafts among the floral presents Birds flutter and dip in the rustic metal bird baths While chipmunks nibble and play along their tiny paths Swirling garden spinners whisper in the light breeze An illusion of flying spindles, adds a whimsical tease The solar fountain is a balance of sounds and silence As water trickles and flows and provides some reliance Bees and dragonflies hover and then stop to take a drink As butterflies flutter in vibrant wings of purple and pink Asiatic lilies open their bright orange petals of luck Their beauty instills feelings of awe and wonder struck Hummingbirds often visit the garden to stop and sip Delicately feeding on phlox while wings flutter and zip My perennial garden is a sacred and treasured place Where nature is welcomed to visit and take up space
