Emily's Garden

Leafing through pages
of secrets,
Floral bookmarks and reminders
of quiet moments
Filled with every sort of flower
Amidst solitary excursions
Down flagstone paths, Victorian gardens
Hours of lazy bees buzzing
Where stray cats doze in summer shade
Below roses clambered over garden arbours
Lily-of-the-valley and honeysuckle air
Hedges of peonies offering proclamations
To a little girl so fair ~
