Shrouded Gardenias

Two gardenias arm in arm

Stubborn as a mule

Defy adversity of barren seasons and Northern winds 

Stretch to live in a peaceful land

Spread their delicious scent miles away

Passionate to thrive

Blossom in a midsummer night

Awakened memories of innocent childhood 

Climbing tall trees of happiness 

Planting seeds of joyfulness in the shades of awaited dreams

Shrouded white gardenias embedded in a garden in my book.
