My Perennial Garden

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
