Serenity’s Garden Party…

The sun shone bright and called to me
Whispering low, “Come; see Serenity,
A garden for poets and artists to eye,
Something that even may make you sigh.”

So I went to the compass for direction, and more,
And found some peace near heaven’s door.
I gazed at the benches and imagined the chatter
Of poets and friends, over various matters.

The Sun said, “Come, and stroll with me,
Just be quiet and see what you see…”
So can you imagine my child-like delight
To see the swallowtail come and alight…

With colors before me, my breath, it was taken ~
For too much stress leaves the body forsaken…
I’m glad I listened to sounds of the Sun
And thought of my poets, each, one by one…

And then Mr. Buckeye did the Cottoneyed Joe,
His partner then left, but he stayed on, so.
I winked at him and he posed for me,
And said, “Say Hi, to Serenity.”

Serenity surrounded me in whispered delight,
A garden she found, hence peace, this night;
And as for me, my poet friends…
Listen when Sun says, “Come here, round this bend….”

It's exactly how I picture Serenity's garden.
A place of peace and tranquility..
where we can gather together and converse.
Beautiful Karilea.

Oh c'mon, Sunshine, quit whatever else you do in life and just take photos and write for us. This is beautiful! KJ

A delightful stroll, thank you.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind.
