Garden of Dreams – Original Poem
Each flower a symbol of life; a metaphor for the journey of self-discovery
As the sun rises on a new day, the shadow awakes to a new shade of color above
The sweet nectar of its protector spreading its wings in a tapestry of color and spectacle
Today, a chorus of roses, lilies, tulips, and daffodils with sing chants accompanied by harps and music from the clouds above. It is a theater of nature’s most talented creations.
Giving life to the ground once cold and frigid
Now, the flowers extend their hand in harmony and wrap themselves around each other in a warm embrace as love is defined for another season
As the cold winter packed its bags and departed, not to look back, the young offspring peaked above the shelter of the soil and slowly began to reach for the heavens and bless us with the smell of fragrant beauty
Now the journey has reached its pinnacle
Spring is here and the ambassadors have manned their posts
Observers to love; supporting players in the creation of memories
With each new kiss, a flower smiles
It is pure; it is magical; it is the virtual of the balance of life
Basking in the vehemence of the sun, this garden is a foundation of the truth in existence
It reinforces the meaning of life and gives explanation when doubt has clouded the mind
With each smell, a new flow of energy enters the body and rejuvenates
Alone a flower is fragile
Together, in a garden, it has the strength to overcome mountains
Now as I sit on this bench, an invited guest to the magical transformation of Earth’s wonders
I close my eyes and let my senses take over as the sun warms my soul and the flowers caress me with nature’s perfume
