Besotted winged pollinators
roistering barrage drowned
amidst general insectivorous cacophony
indistinct auditory signals communicated

intermingled with bounteous wafting fragrance

profuse living color rainbow pastiche

teeming soundgarden smorgasbord
cornucopia ignites mordent...

Embarkation upon meditation...

Believe me you upon manifestation
