Jasmine – July 23, 2015

Posted on July 23, 2015 by Georgia

spring’s delight
the jasmine bush blooms
perfumed nights

tiny white flowers
cascading around the door
fresh jasmine tea

spring morning
lingering jasmine perfume
wafting with the breeze
each petal a memory
of the night that they shared

§§§§§§§§§§

scent of Jasmine
sound of a gurgling brook
peace of mind

© Chèvrefeuille

shaded by blossoms
it is like song in a play
resting on a journey

© Basho (Tr. Jane Reichhold)

buds huddle by day
fragrance comes alive at night
affair with the moon

© Manjula Reddy

Today’s post was written for: Carpe Diem #780 Kuchinashi (Jasmine)

Love all three and rereading them with the music allows us to drift into wonderful memories we savour as well. Brava, Cara:) x
