Elizabeth and Michael's Garden of Love

This is Elizabeth and Michael’s Garden.

It is a garden of love.

We discovered this garden after traveling many miles across a trail of friendship until we found a fork in the road. We chose the path of love and it led us to this beautiful place.

Perhaps you will visit us. The path you follow may not be the same as ours – there are many routes to the garden - but if it brings you here, you have found your destiny: A place for lovers.

Plant your love’s favorite flower in our garden and watch it prosper and bloom. Or bring your lover here to walk our vine-covered trails, savor the scent of blossoms, have a romantic meal in the gazebo, or dangle your feet in the pond as you read poetry.

Or just drop by to leave a note for that special person in your life.

As for Elizabeth and I . . . we live here. We have a cabin, simple and cozy. We’ll start our days with a passionate embrace. Some days we may snuggle the day away. Other days we may venture into Lit Town to see old friends and meet new ones.

And each night we shall return to each other's arms.

For this is a place of romance.

And magic.

Michael, look at the beautiful little stream I found. Wouldn't it be a great place for a picnic someday?

A beautiful stream . . . a beautiful lady

. . . a picnic from which dreams are made.

You, my love, are such a romantic...all the more reason you are the keeper of my heart.
 
A song for you, sweetheart...

Two Hearts, One Love (Always Forever)

You are the moonlight I am the stars
Together we light up the night
You are the passion I am the flame
We are both one and the same

I am the taker you are the chance
This is the rule of romance
I am the seeker you are the find
Together we are two of a kind

Two hearts one love beating together
I am yours you are mine
Two hearts one love always forever
Standing the test of time

I can be happy you can be sad
Together things arent so bad
You are the sailor I am the sea
The treasure of eternity

Two hearts one love beating together
I am yours you are mine
Two hearts one love always forever
Standing the test of time

Here we are the two of us
Nothing in our way
Wanting you wanting me
Everyday

Two hearts one love beating together
I am yours you are mine
Two hearts one love always forever
Standing the test of time

You are the passion I am the flame
We are both one and the same

Two hearts one love beating together
I am yours you are mine
Two hearts one love always forever
Standing the test of time

Two hearts one love beating together
I am yours you are mine
Two hearts one love always forever
Standing the test of time

Yes, darling, it is. It took me awhile to find the right path and the right man. I am so very happy that I finally did. I love you so much and always will.
 
Wednesday morning . . .

. . . I awake in our cabin and reach across for
Elizabeth, but my touch does not find her.

For she is not there.

I open my eyes to see the small indentation on our
bed where she slept. I still feel her warmth,
and her scent lingers.

But she is not there.

I rise, walk to the window, and look out upon our
garden, expecting to see her. Tending her roses, perhaps.
Or basking in the glow of the early morning sun.

But she is not there.

Outside our window I see a butterfly seeking the nectar
of one of our flowers.

I am mystically drawn to this butterfly, its simple beauty,
its perfect stillness.

I walk out the door of our cabin and approach the butterfly.
It is unafraid, welcoming me to the new day.

It flutters its wings and circles my head, as if teasing me,
and in its wake there is a hint of vanilla from Elizabeth's hair.

The butterfly bobs a short way down the garden path, then stops,
as if beckoning me.

I follow.

I follow the it down the stone walk, through the
rose covered arbor, and along the path toward the gazebo.
I pause to admire the beauty of a passion flower, but the
butterfly again flutters a circle around me, as if eager
for me to follow.

We continue down the path toward the stream, where I am
led to a secluded spot under a canopy of trees, and the
butterfly comes to rest on the lush and fragrant ground.

And then . . . with one flutter of its delicate wings
and a glitter of light . . . it disappears.

And in it’s place is Elizabeth.

As she lay on nature’s delicate carpet, freshly picked flowers
trail from her auburn hair and her emerald eyes are radiant.
She lifts her head to rest it on her hand, and impishly invites
me to join her.

My beautiful butterfly.

Magic, you say?

But of course. For what is love if not the greatest magic in the universe.

Thank you, Bear. You are a gracious, kind, and generous visitor to our garden. I hope you visit often and that you too will be visited by the magic that surrounds all of us.

Thank you very much Bear, you are such a dear and wonderful friend. I hope you will stop by often, you are always welcome in our home. Or maybe you'll enjoy the beauty here when you just feel like a quiet walk alone.

I see you have found the lovely stream that flows through the garden, a nice little place to have a quiet picnic or just relax and daydream perhaps...
 
As I walk among the beautiful and fragrant flowers here in the garden with the stars twinkling above, my thoughts turn to the special man in my life...Michael.

Thoughts of the love we share, how happy I am with our little home and garden, how very much I miss him and wish he were here to hold me close beneath the stars....

Where are you, my love?
 
Michael you truly are...I miss you.

"My Best Friend"

I never had no one that I could count on
I've been let down so many times
I was tired of hurtin'
So tired of searchin'
Til you walked into my life

It was a feelin' I'd never known
And for the first time, I didn't feel alone

You're more than a lover
There could never be another
To make me feel the way you do
Oh, we just get closer
I fall in love all over
Everytime I look at you

I don't know where I'd be
Without you here with me
Life with you makes perfect sense
You're my best friend
You're my best friend, oh yeah

You stand by me
And you believe in me
Like nobody ever has
When my world goes crazy
You're right there to save me
You make me see how much I have
And I still tremble when we touch
And oh the look in your eyes
When we make love

You're more than a lover
There could never be another
To make me feel the way you do
Oh, we just get closer
I fall in love all over
Everytime I look at you

I don't know where I'd be
Without you here with me
Life with you makes perfect sense
You're my best friend

You're my best friend

You're more than a lover
There could never be another
To make me feel the way you do
Oh, we just get closer
I fall in love all over
Everytime I look at you

I don't know where I'd be
Without you here with me
Life with you makes perfect sense
You're my best friend

You're my best friend
You're my best friend

For one of the sweetest people I have the pleasure of calling a friend...Rosy.

Thank you for your lovely post and for visiting our garden. Please do come again, its a pleasure to have you here.

Thank you Elizabeth. I'm glad to call you and Michael friends too.

"Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless
garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of
loving and being loved brings a warmth and a richness to life
that nothing else can bring."
 

Michael, as I sit here in the
quiet and solitude of the night,
I gaze into the candle's flame with
thoughts of you that race through my mind.

The flickering of the candle reminds me
of your soft whispers in my ear, the
warmth of your lips and gentle
caresses upon my heart and soul.

So long have my eyes gazed in the quiet
stillness with thoughts of unspoken words.
Your words are the virtue, delightful their beauty,
lovelier then a poets, more lyrical than a song.

Whisper your words of true love that drift
through my soul like a gentle breeze
that caresses my heart with sonorous
tones heard with visions that discover
feelings in the quiet silence.

The wind dancing in rhythm with my beating
heart,the setting sun, skies of blue
blushed with crimson. My gaze lifts to
find you looking at me, thoughts making
my heart flutter with passion.

My smile brightens as our eyes meet,
I see your dazzling smile that matches mine.
A soft breeze flows over my soul and
blows out the flame of the candle
leaving us in the quiet silence of the night

Walking out among my precious flowers, planted with great love, I stop now and then to water them and admire the beauty of a butterfly that is flying nearby in search of sweet nectar. Then with the TLC they need given, I take a long walk in the solitude.

My walk leads me to the lovely stream that flows through the property so I follow it until I find a huge Maple tree to relax under and enjoy the cool air that signals that fall is soon upon our heels.
