Sunday Muse
I’m sending you love, joy and peace with this beauty from my garden. Have a wonderful weekend my dear friends, I’ll be back tomorrow for Potluck. oxo
gardenias saturate the day
clothed in their array of lovely white
their fragrance permeates the nose
and far outshines the perfect rose
white gardenias take me there
while I sit upon my chair
and listen to the birds play
in their orchestrative way
I feel blessed to be
alone in my revery
on a white gardenia day

They are so wonderfully aromatic–I love gardenias. This poem reminded me of when I worked in an office and my boss had a gardenia bush growing in his yard–he would bring me gardenias for my desk when they were in bloom. Wasn’t that nice.
Lovely poem, Amanda. xoxo

They always remind me of my mother and I’ve never thought about it before but I bet they’d do fine in our climate. I may have to go to the nursery.

Omar’s music is so holy and serene…That music goes straight to my soul.
I used to listen this song…and now that feeling comes back with me again… Really wanna live more and more to capture the beauty of love, the beauty of life!
What a beautiful piece of music!
Thanks for sharing this, Amanda!
