Ten

Twilight in the garden
Purple swirling cloudy sky
Damp cool grass under bare feet
Sparkles of the fireflies

Citronella circling smoke
From tiki torches dimly lit
Bean stalk snaking round the trellis
Ashes in the fire pit

Black eyed susans lazy lounging
Berries fruiting on the vine
Sprouting buds reaching for heaven
The maple, oak and pine

Will you join me in my garden
Will you watch the faeries dance
Will you leave the city splendour
Will you come and take a chance

For here is life from bud to fruit
And here you meet eternity
Will you meet me in the garden
Come and watch life grow with me
