You seem so contemporary . . . For centuries your ancestors shared the earth, Even with the dinosaurs. Beneath your canopy ladies of fashion stroll. Newlyweds pose and dream. Tiny hands finger your sturdy petals.
Life is renewed . .
We greet you, Magnolias. The door of winter finally shut, Allowing Spring a chance. If you should choose to walk with me, Chickadee would sing with glee, Lady's-slipper would nod its head, Happy to rise from winter's bed. If you should choose to walk with me, Nature's wave of wisdom thought Would bathe you with the inner peace Intrinsic to its arcane ways. How much greener had become the leaves and grass.
