the colors of my garden


                        each morning I visit my garden
            and I am stunned at the kaleidoscope colors
I hurry to see what new bloom will greet me
and I am always delighted with my beautifully hued flowers

                         oh, the many shades of purples
the fuchsia, and coral, and white scattered here and there
and the giant geraniums dripping red and some delicate pink 

the sweet yellow on a vine and orange dotted about 
            vines feathery and twinning, tangled, clinging with love
                         lovely textured leaves in green shades

flowers creep, tumble in hanging baskets and painted boxes divine
with stain-glass colored butterflies and tiny humming birds 
      pretty wildflowers and fragile herbs mingle,
                        and in this serene porch garden ...  I meditate
