LAVENDER BLOOM

Had a stack of magic spells

within my heart to dwell upon

this summer's evening

TOOK the stem of a lavender bloom

and twisted it

to release its stress

upon this summer evening

The fragrance danced upon the breeze,

whispering secrets to the trees,

as twilight stretched its velvet skies

and kissed the day with soft goodbyes.

The stars awoke, a thousand eyes,

to watch as wishes took to flight,

and in that quiet, tender glow,

I let the world and worries go.

For in the spell of night so clear,

I found the peace that lingers near�"

a gentle pulse, a steady breath,

that conquers fear and quiets death.

The magic stirred within my chest,

and lulled my restless soul to rest.
