"The Secret Garden"
by Hanoochi

 

The flowers of the heart
overflow in abundance in the sacred secret garden.

The sweet scent of dainty freesia fills the silent serene air,
compassionately,
with a gentle caress of lavender and lilac.

The large crimson hibiscus
helps nourish and care for the tender white gardenia.

Roses, so elegant
they stand and keep watch as guardians.

Their essence transcends.

They are the catalysts on the breeze,
that carry the aromas of all of the flowers.

Never overpowering,
within,
around,
and among everything.
Penetrating to the depths,
the roots,
of the soul.

A slow, deep breath cannot contain and hold the sweet savor of love's floral perfume.

The flowers of the heart
overflow in abundance in the
sacred secret garden.
