Sunwashed umbrellas and miniature roses
compliment each others simple beauty.
Last years seedlings,  in full bloom
contradict the green garden moss
that clings silently
to the cool summer blues.

Magnolia trees line the quiet walkway.
Lavender and lemon grass
blend in harmony,  
and dew drops are warm to the touch
underneath a canopy of stars.

Pale cream color clouds dampen the air
honeysuckle sweetness
misting the morning breezeway.
A cat naps on the porch swing
breathing deeply
as the dawn tip toes across the lawn,

climbing through my window.

With us here being in the full grip of winter, this was an absolute pleasure to read.  You brought summer to life for me before its time and I thank you for that.

You just gave me the most beautiful meditation set I could wish for, dear Lori.

To read this poem and just sit in midst of the flowers and the awesome summer atmosphere you convey is as powerful as a psychic healing session.

Simply wonderful!

Love,
Margherita
