A little cottage garden

is a charming place to be

colors softly drifting

flowers gently scenting

roses, lavender, and honeysuckle vines

and the spicey fragrance

of herbs basking in the sun.

It is a messed up mix

but its grace and charm

calm my weariness.

A place to walk, a stone laid path

a yellow rose covered arbor

and a rustic bench where I can sit

and perhaps

talk to God.
