Lavishly, the fragrances of fresh flowers surround me like paradise <br />Where butterflies flutter freely <br /> <br />A place of variety and color —the butterfly garden <br />The scenery is ever so peaceful <br /> <br />Where joy and happiness flourishes <br />Where tranquil and calm – is the cry of the day <br /> <br />There is silence for the mind to think! <br />Where distresses are not a reality <br /> <br />The journey to get there is not easy… <br /> <br />But what is distance...when there’s joy and happiness? <br /> <br />What is time…when there is tranquil and calm? <br /> <br />Yes, life here is as it should be <br />In the butterfly garden <br /> <br />(© 2004 Galveston, TX)<br /><br />Carol Phillips<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-butterfly-garden/
