All shades of colour
All shapes of flower
All forms of life
Smell the perfume
Through this window
Bury your body in
Lush scent and carnal flora
Passing cyclists slow the wheels of time
Slow-motion riders turn and dream of jungles
Ferns, fronds
And the cool comfort of firm, soil-bound roots
A woman pauses before lilies purple and white
Floating pictures of friends' faces receiving
Organic gifts with soft, reassuring care
A stroke of colour set out
Against a wall or solid oak
The shopkeeper in her urban garden
Takes all venturers at their word
Delicately wraps their feelings in paper and cellophane
With a ribbon
