Our Garden Pond
 
sweet countenance seeing
soft skin seeking
entranced enraptured transfixed
new places to go
become as never

Become as never
muted jade lilypad
afloat our languid pond
placid depths to explore
honeysuckle kisses

honeysuckle kisses
garden wall cloaking
with pale blossoms beauty
muted prelude revealing 
bountiful reaches extent

bountiful reaches extent
encompass tinctures textures
open gate reveals recesses deep
enthrall beckon entice 
soft dimensions apart

soft dimensions apart
wonders once unseen
distant breezes carry
soft sentences reveal
our beings enraptured

our beings enraptured
new heights attained 
rubies pearls raindrops
glistening smooth soft 
flowing with bliss

Flowing with bliss
ensconced buddha purity 
bonsai-perfect form
mottled canvas transformed
afloat our Monet pond
