Scents of Spring

perfumed air accompanies my morning walks,
around each corner, new scents tease my nostrils.

star jasmine climbs entryways and fenceposts,
offering sweet hellos and goodbyes.

orange blossoms
waxy and strong,
promise tangy fruits next winter.

heavy lilac aroma wafts

among the woodsy-scented cedar branches

a wall of roses wrap a corner home
with bursting buds to full blossoms

every stage of blushing petals
exuding their delicate fragrance
a spell of mystical protection
an offer
of grace and gratitude


as I walk home.
