Walk the path of a filled garden
Weaving in and out.
Everything is made of circles.
Morning glories peek around the corner
In brief existence.
Taut threads of umbrellas of colors.
Flowers multiply in harmony.
Daisies stand tallest and daylilies
Are vibrant and hardy.
Marigolds in yellow, orange and red
Are scented strong.
Bleeding hearts thrive in shady places and
Chrysanthemums symbolize joy, longevity and optimism.
Circle the path around the corner
Holding the covering of roses
Like paper lanterns glowing sideways
In crimson of light.
Poem, “The Garden” and artwork, “Bouquet,” by Marsha Solomon
