Fragrance, by Barbara Neill-Bottle

Fragrance

Chasing the dawn
And seeking the sun
Into the dusk
When two become one   They open and beckon
About to divulge
Their sweet, hidden mystery
For us to indulge   Ivory trumpets
Declaring, "It's time"
Responding, we open
To fragrance sublime   Lemon juice trickling
Into a dream
Swirling us round
In luxurious cream   Carried away
As the rich dairy milk
Transforms and becomes
A river of silk   Surrounded by angels
Our journeys proceed
Tastebuds excited
By rich aniseed   Foaming sea washes us
Onto the shore
Bathed in moonlight
In the garden once more
