The smell of flowers--
    lilac, lily, and rose
Burst with color
    majestically swirling before my eyes...
Golden yellow, bright an enchanting
Like velvet,
     thick but smooth against my fingertips.
That scent of sweetness lingers
Tastes of honey dancing on my tongue
And I hear her steady hum
    persistently buzzing in my ear.
