Lavender sashays on the breeze
brought forth on this warm summer day
the fruits of my labor answered
with healing, heavenly scents.
Your beauty is two-fold:
Each lush stem crowned
by a soft lilac chapeau
bends and waves and tips
as you parade in all your finery.
Your velvet leaves hoard
the fragrance of your name
only shared when a gentle caress
brushes past in anticipation.
My garden is richer
having you here
as are my senses,
elevated in your grace.
