Benediction
I bring flowers
an offering
a benediction
for one who has
created this garden
flowering within my very soul
Soft, silken petals
gentle color
fragrant scent
an incense to soothe away the world
bodies touching
tenderly
to embrace the love
we bear for one another
Breathless
bouquet
your presence
hovers lovingly
around me while you sleep
the flowers
earth's monument
to celebrate
our love.
