The Arbor

Mary’s arbor is adorned 
with white petal tresses
and twists of heritage roses
that wander wistfully upwards
with perfumed breezes 
that waft in luxurious languor.

Sweet scents woo hummingbirds 
to sip its pistil delights
while monarchs fly in to play
then zigzag away
where restless bees hum and indulge 
to a distant tune…

…in a place where sunlight 
happily winks 
with unfettered delight.
