Magnolia sweet dreams
Swirling amid
Mesmirizing scent of white blossoms
Tantilizing fragile gentility

Strong evergreen serenity
Grows slow and purposeful
Tenacious as the old south

Soft and sensual
Aged and overwhelming
Living pastoral enigma

Swells burgeoning emotions
Of love of the land
And old traditions made new
