Garden Solace, a poem

Ruby-red roses in full bloom drip in voluptuous bouquets from the rosebush.
Their sweet smell and sensual color fills me with pure joy.

Twittering birds fly from tree to tree, bringing insects and worms to their nests
full of fledglings. Their bustling activity fill me with hope.

Pink calla lilies peek up through spikes of green, and blue allium blossoms burst
forth like fireworks. Their delicate beauty fills me with wonder.

Gentle breezes swirl through the garden, whispering through the trees and ringing
the wind chimes. Their musical sound fills me with peace.
