The Linden and the Rose

the linden and the rose
their scents
smell so sweet
are so intense

we're transformed
though unaware
by each fragrance
in the air...

breathing in
becoming part
propelled from thought
into the heart

nature's spell
is all around
mesmerizing
with each sound...

wind tiptoeing
through the flowers
imbuing us
with their great powers

to transform
our senses bent
arousing feelings
heaven sent...

breathing out
we each return
what plants need
for us to learn

honeysuckle
smelling sweet
and all the fruit
we have to eat

all the seeds
each root and stem
through eating
we're becoming them...

the linden and the rose
their scents
smell so sweet
are so intense

we're transformed
though unaware
by each fragrance
in the air...
