Your quiet beauty
Whispers on the breeze
With fragrance sweet
As you spread your
Feathery green canopy

Your beauty does
Not shout
But grows
More precious
With each passing breeze

Upon  your lacy umbrella
Your silky coral powder puffs
Allure, softly
Quietly and unseen
Your charms hidden
To the casual passerby

Eloquently and silently
Your beauty grows
In the eyes of those
Who have the time to sit
Nearby
Watching what magic
Can be performed
By Mimosa
And a southern breeze

Such a breathtaking picture you paint...beautiful..

I can't control
my destiny
I trust my soul,
my only goal
is just to "be"
