Excellence Award in the 'Spread The Word 2017' competition

Her aspiration was with pride,her mind abide,
pondering dreams,beneath the seas.

The pastel coloured flowers,forming the ground,
the cherry blossoms secret,hush...not a sound.

Deep into nature,it's nurturing danger,
inhabitants unseen,the majestic forests gleam.

Euphoria surrounds,the leaves on the ground
dew drops chime,the gardens time.

The array of colours,filling the sky,
a beautiful mother,the love is high.

A bed of flowers,surrounded by friends,
turns to a field that never ends.

The lakes and mountains,the cities and fountains
she yearned to see,yet she had no eyes to be.
