Lavender Bloom

Had a stack of magic spells
within my heart to dwell upon
this summer’s evening

TOOK the stem of a lavender bloom
and twisted it
to release its stress
upon this summer evening

The fragrance danced upon the breeze,
whispering secrets to the trees,
as twilight stretched its velvet skies
and kissed the day with soft goodbyes.

The stars awoke, a thousand eyes,
to watch as wishes took to flight,
and in that quiet, tender glow,
I let the world and worries go.

For in the spell of night so clear,
I found the peace that lingers near—
a gentle pulse, a steady breath,
that conquers fear and quiets death.

The magic stirred within my chest,
and lulled my restless soul to rest.
