Dusky and looking weary
are the leaves on the dogwood tree,
that form a canopy of shade
over the lush floral delights
of this waning summers garden.

A stillness prevails,
as mauve and purple clouds
float across a storm laden sky.

The water fountain dances and sings,
unaware of all, but it's own joy.

So detatched from all that surrounds,
this fountain of splashing splendor
gives serenity to garden and heart.
A lesson that is deeply needed,
is learned and harkened to.

Detatch and be still,
from the storms of life,
and know that we are forever....
in God's care!
