A gift of flowers
Plants packed, their petals exposed
A display of demure generosity
Lingers in gratitude
and leaves that kindest of stains
Thanks for a time shared
When no boundaries were broken
No favours asked
Just the interplay of friendship
And a hope that it may last
Outside, bright sunshine
like some heavenly tongue
has drenched the scene
With natural beauty
And in the windless quiet
each still particle proclaims
a pride in its place
And there is no doubt
No fear that judgement will be made
to sully or scar
each stitched particle
of this tableau
How wonderful
Our garden beams
in the lick of a dew.
