Paradise Garden

In the searing heat of Al Ain, the pictures and thoughts of Paradise Garden are like running cool water over a fresh burn. All of these pictures were up my previous blog as well so, yes, they're pretttyyy old. In fact, the place is no longer even there *sob*. 

It used to be absolutely breath taking during the spring. Just step into the garden and you have a sea of flowers is lying before you with their earthy and fresh scent wafting through the breeze, engulfing you in it.

A couple of these photographs are not taken by me. 

Queen of all seasons, oh lady spring

Where do you go, spreading your wings? 

With your magnificent, sprawling veil of flowers

You tip toe quietly, bringing showers.

In the mornings, fresh and fair,

Exuding fragrance in the air.

Glowing perfection

The beauty of your soul is so dazzling, so brilliant, it could light up the darkest of the nights. It could illuminate lifeless caves and heal scarred hearts.
It burns bright but not blazingly enough to blind me, instead radiant enough to guide me; to be my lantern through all those rainy nights and my flashlight through the foggy days; to be a beacon of hope when I'm feeling low and provide me with warmth and protection when I need it.
But don't ever, even for an instant, doubt yourself because only then does your glow fade.
