Splashes of golden sunlight
dance across my living canvas.
Blossom smiles as it pirouettes
these fine colours of renewal.
Wind laughs as it carries timeless thought
of life and death.
Bold rainbows of spring rains
rest in gentle droplets of a dream
as grasses swirl within unseen breezes.
I love to twirl,
knowing that I embody
wild perfection of fine fragrance.
Freedom folds itself
around my brilliant dreams,
as songbirds sing vitality's future
and your invitation
to my table of miracles, whispers.
Some walk softly within
my garden of promise,
but sadly,
my sweet perception of life
becomes a wanton destruction
where flower heads ripple fear
and my petalled lace and leaves
fly into oblivion.
I wear nature's beautiful dress
and yet you tread on my capriciousness.
