FLOWER OF ENLIGHTENMENT

Oh flowered enlightenment

We garland you with lilies,

Orchids,

Lotus blooms

Add to your

Already perfumed love,

That flows along,

Words floating

Leaves, papyrus, shrubs

On breezes, seasons’ pains

And passing,

Grieves the shallows

Shadowed, softened,

Calmed,

And pierces arrows reeds, Of green

Sewn webs of light

To glisten,

Listen,

Seen,

Hallucinate endeavors’

Dawn in rivers thronging

Stones,

In browns and reds and orange,

Tangerine,

Dashed with burgundy,

Splashed with wine from unseen streams

Join in glorious union,

Where the estuary

Is reached,

‘Ere all spreads out its wings,

Moist, shining,

New, yet not,

Waves into wide oblivion.

Lovely images Ann. Can’t

Lovely images Ann. Can't wait to visit our Botanical Gardens just down the road from me now. A place I love to go when the weather is fine. It has Hot Houses with all sorts of tropical plants, fruit...you name it...it has it all...it's so beautiful It also had a lovely Gold Fish Pond with fish as large as my hand...and I have a big hand. People toss coins in the pond too and make wishes. Rosina xena465

I've been there more than once Rosina,

Ann of Norway I've been there more than once Rosina, do you live close by? Then I know where that is, yes Scotland has some wonderful trees and gardens, it is blessed with plenty of 'refreshing' rain!!!! Are the fish carp perhaps, if they are all sorts of pinks and salmon colours with big black spots and wonderful scales? Must go there next time I am in Glasgow. Love to you from a day of sunshine, hot!!! Ann.

A Garden of Eden

It's 20 minutes walk from where I live, you'd love it Ann. It's in the West-End of Glasgow, Byres Road and it's called "The Botanic Gardens". It has also had many upgrades. It stretches for miles along Great Western Road with many gates in a out of different areas. Rosina xena465

She refreshes our understanding of life and love.

Ann of Norway Will look at the http you sent me but first thank you for being given the exact sensations I wished to convey to Anna in this tribute to her wonderful heart and pen, her ethereal self is so beautiful it had to be something particular and different, something that could cradle the feelings I have for her heart in mine as I wrote it, it is sincere and she is well loved for her so special expressions of words that each travels through our beings and refreshes our understanding of life and love. You know what I men as you too love her Jayne and I love you, Ann
