Scented Mystery
A Portrait of Nature’s Enigma
In a quiet grove, stands an unknown tree,
its silhouette a secret written in bark and leaf.
Mysterious flowers bloom, whispers in the wind,
each petal a veiled promise, a riddle to comprehend.
A fragrance drifts, ethereal, unnamed,
a scent that steals language, leaving mouths tamed.
Is it the aroma of forgotten dreams, or love’s first sigh?
A perfume so complex, even poets dare not try.
Roots deep in earth, branches flirting with sky,
an enigma to the birds that pass by.
In this quiet space, beauty needs no acclaim,
an unknown tree thrives, a masterpiece without a name.
Delighted to present my second poem through Scrittura, and thankful for the ongoing opportunity to share my work.
It’s a poem about a special tree that’s beautiful and mysterious, even if no one knows its name.
Thank you for taking the time to read my poem and join me on this poetic journey. I hope it resonates with your own experiences of finding beauty and wonder in things that are often overlooked or unnamed.
