Mint to flavour my tea picked fresh
and Stevia to sweeten my cup.
Watching swallows flit in evening sky
from my small porch sipping tea.

Hydrangeas and tall boxwood bushes
grow on each side of the walkway.
Picket fence, greying from need of paint,
and Foxglove and Bleeding Hearts thrive in shade.
The little breeze shakes the leaves
and cause the nodding Roses to sway.
In evening when sun begins to set,
serene peacefulness comforts my soul like God.

Yellowed card folded
I treasure from loved one gone
held in hand trembling.

**Тадеус

All alone I sit
on old bench by the small creek
tranquil solitude.

Тадеус

Walk through the gate there
and see so many flowers in bloom.
Stroll the well worn path
and hear bird songs.
Orchids grow by creek
with foot-bridge over waters.
At dusk, in Spring,
you can hear hooting owl.
Loop pathway,
winds back to thick fir and evergreens.
A small meadow
full of fireflies at night and cricket song.
Nature plays nocturne
for me to sleep by night.
A rhapsody
and reverie by day if I listen.
Walk through the gate,
never know what loveliness await.
I sit all alone,
but never long lonesome.
Sunset so colourful,
like Sunrise.
To share this would
be only paradise complete.
Walk through the gate there
and see many flowers in bloom.
Perpetual bloom.

*Тадеус

Fresh blossoms from
trellis near the garden arbor.
Sweet perfumes.
Ah! lovely to behold, as climbing
they entwined, embraced...
Ruby red, Blush pink,
woven, wound,
and
produce
a focal point.
Stop. Yes, I stop,
admire this sight I behold.
Sweet entwined roses, with a gaiety, to
lift sadness and scents, pleasant
scents to fill the
air.

With each beat of heart
I look forward to the day
When my life complete.
