To a lady I often wish was at my side.....

Outside the tent of my experience, wafts
an aroma of a pungent blend. As I draw breath,
the fragrance strikes quickly, like a blow
that I cannot defend. The powerful scent
glides past my face, and in doing so, touches the soul.
I try to maintain my balance,as waves of scent
towards me roll. I expect to look past the nose
on my face, and  see a bouquet quenching thirst in
a vase. I view before me a vivid creation, who in
goodness, and beauty is full. A women whose dreams,
and desire for truth, make all other matters seem null.
Her perfume has the air of spring flowers in bloom,
and her smile wide enough for the stars to make room.
Have I taken to ground, and gone down on my head ?
Have I drunken strong wine, and then spilled out of bed ?
To be in your vision, makes all my sight new.
You are a tenant of all that is true. The name
you are given is wisdom.

Life is meant to be enjoyed, not just endured.

It's the scent of fascination transmitted by true sapience ... very lovely.
