Subject(s): Flowers; Gardens & Gardening; Love


Dawn brought the flush of a rose colored day,
Fast beat my heart with its heralding glow,
Beauty disclosing,
Love interposing—
Blithely I ventured the promising way.

Noontide had given me treasures untold,
Eager, sun-dazzled I reached out for more;
Reckless with living,
Blind in my giving,
Lavishly squandering more than my gold.

Shadows and silence—enchanting twilight;
Mystical overtones—infinite peace.
Golden cloud plumes,
Sifting soft blooms ...
Star gleam and Love in the garden tonight.
