The silvery moon casts a shadow on the lawn
As the day now closes
And the fairies begin to yawn
So busy they have been
In my garden all day
On a blanket of baby tears fern
Is where they now lay

Such a paradise for them
And certainly for me
Whether I'm just admiring my garden
Or relaxing under my birch tree

The birds have come to roost for the night
In my flowering gum
As they ruffle up their feathers
And wait for the sun

But now night has come
No more work to be done
Time to rest for a while
As I begin to smile
About the day spent in my garden
How happy these thoughts make me feel
So tonight I'll dream of my garden
Adn know my dreams will be for real

SueTang~
What a lovely stroll through your paradise.
Such lovely imagery for us to behold.
You took me there ... and I thank you.
Someday I hope to visit Australia and 'see' even more.
I'd love to help you tend your garden !

I love working in my gardens, if only the rain would stop and the warmth would come so I can plant my newest additions... *s

This is a delight, sue! You've really captured that magical mysterious sense of presence that every gardener knows---left my heart twinkling!
