SPICES

Sunshine
For Warmth

Dapples leaves
For Memory

Gentle rain
For Serenity

Misty mountains & valleys
For Imagination

Dewy mornings
For the Future

Snowy nights
For Romance

A gentle stream
For Simplicity

The newborn
For Gentleness

A quiet smile
For Friendship

Laughter
For Delight

A golden cat
In sunshine
For Placidity

Hot white sand
Between bare toes
For Sensuality

Red roses
Redolent and full
For Flamboyance

Sunset and sunrise
Tumultuous with colour
Luminous with light
For Beauty

Hidden violets
Fragrant with love
And add a dash of pain
For self knowledge.

Spices on the table
At the banquet of life.
