The sweet, sweet aroma
permeates everything
manna for the soul
Essence of heaven on earth
reminder of the sublime
Grace of nature’s flourish
In any of God’s gardens
——————————————–
The aroma soaks in
through every pore
tickles the subtle body
Softening, softening…
When the hair on my neck
stands straight
I open my arms
shine the love
and breathe
Mmm… the sweetness
of Spirit flowing through
Then I look into the heart
of that little one inside
How could you feel
anything but love
for this child?
Baby squirrel
all sweet and soft looking
sat on his favorite branch
Washing face with
the backs of his paws
thoroughly involved in the task
Then, stillness overcame
his every fiber
Looking sideways at that big person
there in the kitchen window
In a flash, he was gone!
Once inside the mind
of every human
the paths are tricky
and somewhat convoluted
Yet there is an aura
a sweet, sweet smell
that reminisces of the long, cool drink
at the Well of Life…
