ADORE FLORA

Flora splayed in iridescent errant array

Dancing in sweet summer scented fair

Pleading to interact and by all admired

In resplendent mother nature's sway

Lighting and painting fields in gardens lair

Water and oil paints stroked on the canvass of nature's reign

Silent yet speaking in myriad shapes colours vibrantly shared

Ambiance of outdoors beautifully caught so remains

Lifting moods of all who survey

Perfume drifting on air so pungent so sweet

Their purpose to delight for a seasons whisper sustained

Greeting all with open petals as if to smile

A reminder of mother earths forces in delicate coats

Harnessed then fading at the end of summers dial

Bees propagate their stigmas to denote

That without which our vegetation surely would die

Flora fauna the silent perennial knights

Upholding foliage strikingly alight yet sighing ever lithe
