So Who Will Be My Company?

Listen, can you hear the trickle of crystal

while white water lilies look on?

A fountain bubbles and percolates

close to their floating home.

Blooms open to smile in warm sunlight,

to delight in the company of butterflies,

whose winged pathway flits between lavender

and shrubs of aromatic rosemary

Nicotiana proudly stands on guard,

purple flower heads profuse.

In all their glory they nod politely

to the petunias at their feet.

I wish you were here seated with me,

amid blackbirds and bumbling bees

inhaling the highly scented summer air

without a care in the world.

Sound like a wonderful place dear Chris.
"I wish you were here seated with me,

Today me and the Grandchildren off to the lake. Nice place to relax and enjoy always. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.
