Our garden.

Leger, Fernand  breakfast. From magpie tales.


Blue window cascading seasons,
orange doors letting in the joy,
Every morning we breakfast with love and season-
ed nutrient delicacies.
We are black and white;
We imbibe and emanate.
Our world a garden of magnolia;
breathe in every moment,
life is here in this moment.
When you leave this threshold
to earn, keep this fragrance and my love
served with food;
for I wish you may never earn more
never less, but just to keep this garden,
safe and sound.
For we are here all over the garden,
Scattered , flourished, bloomed
In every corner, everything is precious.
Comeback every evening, clean hand, clean heart,
letting no poisons here.
We will breakfast every morning with season-
ed nutrient delicacies and love.

  1. Interesting how the same image pokes such different poem, perhaps reflecting the experience and world view of the poet!

  2. Breakfast in magnolia 'world' garden... Beautiful. I think we are all shades of grey. That's why the confusion, apprehension and your request to return clean without any poison...just a thought.

  6. Feels like a prayer: Thank you for abundance this home these doors etc and especially for the dear one who goes out and comes back--to be well and happy and not to pollute the garden. Perfect.

  7. I would love to sink my nose into a fragrant magnolia right now ... next to the gardenia, my favorite flower. Like where you went with this.

  16. I love the way you ask for there to be no poison allowed in. To keep your sanctuary clean and free from toxic emotions and vibes. It must be a wonderful thing, to breakfast with love every morning.
    Beautiful.
