Joy


Remembering your love of nature

The garden dances

With the wind as a partner

And songbirds as melody

Twirling, Whirling, Swirling

Surging, twisting, stretching

Seeking nourishment

Ascending new heights

Yarrow, Pittosporum, Myoporum

Germander, Cranesbill, Mexican Sage

Emerge

As shiny gemstones

Atop circular shapes

Brimming with stones

A Japanese Maple flourishes
