Apple-mint sprigs, tiny leaves
unfold to sun in ancient prayer--
    supplication
Ever strives to meet perfection
    (daily dedication)

Lemon tree in bloom this year.
     How perfectly ironic.
Blossoms fall--lemon drops--
     Heady scent--seductive tonic--
a certain perfect disarray...
think i'll let it stay that way...
(Some things should be
     just what they are.)

Broad-leaf fern, pine-apple sage,
rose-in-bud, "Society's Page,"
(she used to be all the rage.)
spears of iris by the pond
and just the slightest curve of palm
behind the waterfall--
White ginger standing tall...
    and pots of basil
    hunger for planting
bringing out an ache in me--
ever wistful--ever wanting--
    a shovel full of upturned earth
    droplets of rain, quenching thirst.
"Gentle hands are needed here,"
said the breeze into my ear.

"Ssshh..."  It whispered me aware.

You have a way of scenting the air and lifting it up with your magic touch.

Nice work, as always, serenity~

Thank you for bringing back this voluptuous poem...I'd never have seen it, and that would have been my loss.
