The pendulous beauty of the fuscia hangs free
So many lovely baskets of flowers surround me

The snapdragons yawn to the sun as they wake
As birds look for nectar from the flowers they take

A blackbird stops to rest on the birdbath and sighs
As he splashes around before he takes to the skies

The water flows freely from the face on the wall
As it cascades into the water feature a lovely sound is born

So relaxing is the sound of water running free
Especially in this garden such a lovely place to be

The white butterfly bush with its flowers so sweet
Sways gently in the breeze nearby the garden seat

The cupid with his harp gazes down on the blooms
While high above him the bird of paradise leaves loom

They arch overhead and so majestic is this sight
As the day starts to close with the coming of the night

A welcoming seat in the garden awaits me
Where I can sit and relax beneath my beautiful birch tree

As I sit here and dream all my senses are set free
There is no other place on earth that I'd rather be

So much color and beauty to SEE
Songs of the birds to HEAR
Sweet fragrance to SMELL
Soft velvety petals to TOUCH
Sweetness of the apples to TASTE

As I sit here and dream all my senses are set free...

I feel the blush of the garden as I read your beautiful thoughts. Summer has come.

Suetang,

It is so sad to see a poem as beautiful as this, fall with so few having read its message. Time to be reread.
