Basking subdued in my tranquil garden
Rocking chair cradling my tortured soul
Rays of light peaking through timbers softly
Shadows resting, taking leisurely stroll
Sipping steaming earthy fragrant coffee
Classicals flowing on soft-wind, extended paned glass door
Feelings of loneliness, sneaking through so quietly, …hush…….
Cold shoulder, trying to ignore
Mind relaxing, insufflating scented treasures
Body renewing, decompressing, surrender
Ensconced by petals, exquisite aromatics
Gods grandeur ascending from jewel to jewel
Beauteous pollinators drawn to light and hue
From worm like larva to silky cocoon
Transparent stained glass wings
Among all others, majestic kings
Kaleidoscope of multifarious colors
Tasting sweet nectar, fluctuating flutters
Forward leaning as Monarch alights on yellow milkweed blossoms
Taking to air, ensurement, necessary caution
Gentle fingers, enfolding silkiness of velvet petal
Fragile, unfolding, quiescent nesting palm
Tortured self forgotten, restful, sweetly calm
Ingesting the paradise of my garden
Weariness leaving my soul
Gods majesty abounding
Surrounded by lovely
No more insulating
Psychological control
