You are an Orchard of Spices...
essence of frankincense and myrrh,
sweet fragrance of pomegranates.
Even now, your aroma fills my senses
with indescribable joy,
a Queen's delight.  Walk with me
down leafy aisles.  Let the song
of nature crown you King.
Every branch bending low,
offering its precious fruits.
Reach for them, my Orchard.  Savor
the bittersweet as well as the sublime.
You are the soul of my enjoyment,
the soul of my oneness.  Hear
the wind whisper your name
~~~as it gently rustles  
each leafy glove, each ripened bell.

Step through the
barrier of my mind,
enter my soul,
feel my desire,
let my eyes guide you
into the shadows
of my heart
