🌲🌿🌷🌶️💚
Aromatic essences of plant perfection,
Offer soothing hues and profound course correction
Elegantly emanating divine protection
Beloved and benevolent in their ethereal presence
Awakening my instincts and senses
Earth alchemy aesthetics,
Blending with trustworthy ethics
Intangible plant spirits dance in rhythm
Whispering an ancient hymn
Always softly tip toeing alongside my Heroine's journey
Their voices earthy and flirty
At times the clashing sounds of industry drowned out their soft melody,
Making them almost impossible to hear
Yet in the golden stillness,
I am reminded that their presence is always near
The firs stay close and eternally ever green
The frankincense spirit remains near even when unseen
Believing in me with steady faith even in the in-between
The pure white cherry blossoms remember my name,
As the forget-me-nots smile
The golden roses stay wild,
And even knew me as a child
Crimson rose hips stain my lips,
as myrrh resin sticks to my fingertips
The aromatic spices of ginger and cinnamon,
Warm me to the core forevermore
Cayenne kicks up the heat
When snow is beneath my feet
With her sultry sway and Caribbean beat
In the crystal silence,
when they whisper please stay near,
It is all that I can hear
