The Floral Garden

My eyes drank in the beauty of this magnificent floral garden

My senses became aware of the deep intoxicating aromatic sweetness

That hung heavily in the air

My mouth savored, my nostrils pulled in glorious scents

It left me clinging, longing ,to remain in this exotic haven

With each step the aromas became aromatic scented treats

As I walked down this enchanting pathway

I breathe the thick fragrance that hung  in the air

As the gate opened I slipped inside the  flower garden

It was so vibrant, so colorful, so powerful

That it overwhelmed my sense of smell

As I drank in the beauty before me

I thought, I am so happy to be alive

To feel, to see, to smell and drink in this floral beauty.
