Magic Scents © Poem by Roann Mendriq

Close both your eyes, breath deep, inhale
rain scents wafting in the air;
Let it drench your soul, assail
sleeping senses like a prayer...

Fresh notes of musky woodland sap,
blended with the mulch of earth,
Let it soak around and wrap
you in its blanket of new birth...

Each fragrance brings a memory
of one forgotten happy day;
A snatch of song, a melody,
a secret hint of salt sea spray...

If only man had common sense,
he'd bottle up these magic scents!
