Exotic


Source















each day a flower blooms,
the world becomes beautiful,
birds sing, butterflies dance,
buzzing bees tell honey is near-by,
even in the swift flow of the stream,
there are songs so sentimental,
only the one listening with the heart,
will feel the beauty of its flow,
and will know what life's secret is.

  12. How can you always carve out such beautiful imagery with words? As for me, there are times when I just can't seem to see the colors around me. I become so bleak and dark that flowers would wither seeing me. :D

    Your post is as fragrant as ever. :)

    Beautiful poem! It's as if nature speaks. Every time I look at such beauty , the trees , the mountains, it gives me some sort of tranquility. It's true only the ones who listen and see with their hearts would understand this beauty.
