In the Garden
Overwhelmed in the garden of Eden
in the garden of light,
You held me close, you held me tight.
I felt your presence, I felt your soul.
Your "foolish smile" still holds its youthful glow.
Colorful, radiating, fragrant, and bright;
like cascading wisteria on a Spring morning or aubergine Azaleas on a full moon night...
This was the day I saw your face.
This was the day full of heavenly grace.
This was the day that everything bloomed with delight.
This was the day that my soft petals were held by you...tenderly...
in the garden of light.
Bonaventure Cemetery is aptly named. It was a good adventure on a cool Spring morning.There was a wellspring of life and a flourishing of the soul. The cemetery became public in 1907 and became famous when it was featured in the 1994 novel "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" by John Berendt.
I hope you all have your own good adventures in the upcoming weekend. Thank you for your kind support, favs, and comments. They are much appreciated!
