Strolling in the gardens
with my beautiful friend
as we appreciate
each other
and the vast beauty
surrounding us.
The air
so perfect
more spring-like
today
than summer-like
gently
kissing our skin
as it breezes by
shades of green, purple, red, orange and yellow
paint the canvas
as the palate of pigments
blend into
the panoramic view
as it awaits us.
Ginko leaves
water lilies
lotus bliss
smile back at us
as if
we are merely spectators
delighting
in their innate wisdom
as we become
drunk with inspiration
opening to their healing
energies
as the birds sing
songs of wisdom
and butterflies dance
in delight.
We ask the buds
“What will become of you?”
as they gently
remind us
of our uniqueness
endurance
and beauty
as we unfold
and emerge
all within perfect time.
What will become of you, my dear friend?
my heart stands up and practically sings
ReplyDeleteover that hollyhock!
and the rest of me is leaning into
the beauty of this place
with my whole weight...just drinking it in:)
THANK you for letting me come alongside
your becoming.
(it's a beauty)
