honeysuckle pervades
in the night darkened garden

My response to Carpe Diem Weekend Meditation #86 A New Feature: Carpe Diem’s Utopia

    1. I don’t know much about New Mexico, but I felt the same growing up in South London. We may not have had much, but my grandmother’s small garden was full of flowers and scents.
