How Does Your Garden Grow

Strolling through a sunflower garden

I wonder can I find my way through

the maze

 

       hundreds of blooms following

       the sun's; life giving rays

 

standing tall, seeds of hope

bees pollinating dreams

 

   in darkness look to the eastern

   horizon a new day is awakening

Dazzling Blue Dreams Grew

 In the garden of golden acres
a princess dreams of a knight
wake-up, the universe shakes her
warming her heart,  blue fire light

before her a mysterious wizard
if you seek love tender and true
his tongue swirled like a blizzard
there is a task that you must do

this night travel the trail of tears
follow it to the Purple Queens' castle
there you will find winding stairs
a warrior awaits steadfast for battle

riding black beauty the princess flew
racing through the dark forest trees
with hope in her heart, her dream grew
up ahead the castle sits by the sea

jumping off her trustworthy stallion
in the tower window she spied a man
wearing some sort of shiny medallion
trembling heart, she needed a plan

the purple queen had a purple sword
trying to cast and evil spell upon him
she cursed him with her vicious words
the situation was looking rather grim

quietly the princess entered the room
taking the purple queen by surprise
she hit her with a dusty old broom
tumbling to the floor, fright in her eyes

The princess grabbed the purple sword
the purple queen wilted in the night
a noble knight's freedom was restored
together they stood in dazzling blue light

Gardener of Dreams


Atlanta Botanical Garden


I am a gardener of dreams
planting seeds in hearts
hoping they will take root
and grow beyond any
expectations

I am a gardener of dreams
nurturing those who have lost
their dreams, weeding out
doubts  that try to
strangle potential

I am a gardener of dreams
my garden is filled with wild
and cultivated flowers...
each unique with special
needs

Daisies, roses, sunflowers,
moon-flowers, dandelions
violets, tulips each has
a reason to shine in
the light

I am a gardener of dreams
carrying tools of the trade
spade, rake, spray bottle
and knee pad all to help
make the journey easier

I am a gardener of dreams
often working the night shift
offering you a drink to
quench a drought

I am a gardener of dreams
planting seeds in the dark
whispering in your ear
"All you need do is believe"

Thank you for visiting
wishing your fruitful dreams
