Garden of My Summer Dreams 

by J P St. Jullian 

Happy days mirrored here; 

Mossed sundial, 

Smells of mint, thyme and lemon wafts 

Into an aura of serene contentment. 

Winding cobblestone path, 

Boxwood borders lingering, waiting for the twilight. 

Songbird's litany 

Falling like droplets of cool water, 

Lilies growing, trailing roses brushing my hand. 

Butterflies feasting, lavender delight! 

Coral-bells luring hummingbirds to feast, 

Moonlit skies that mirror daisies in the nighttime stars. 

Dreaming as I walk a cobbled garden path, and 

Peace falling, like prayer on my weary heart.
