Another long quiet night
and I am wide awake,
yet I still dream or perhaps
it just seems like a...
a bloom of unbelievable beauty,
mesmerizing pristine petals
in tender pastel colors,
the sweetest fragrance
of any springtime breeze,
an enchanting vision
touching every part
of my heart,
creating a desire I have
never before known,
growing on the other side
of a bordering wall
as high as it is wide,
separating southern valleys
from northern boundaries,
past maple tree sentries,
beyond the locked garden gate
at the end of a flagstone walkway,
just out of my reach...
Wow, I guess it could be...
but if so, it is a dream that I will not give up on
until it comes true and I hold this
beautiful flower close to me...to never let go
Good night Beautiful
