Nurturing Nectar

There are times
when I walk
through the garden
lingering
just long enough,
to gather
a hint
of the sweetness,            
and that sweet
sweet
nectar
clings to me,
saturates me;
sinks deep down
into my soul,
nurturing what is beautiful
but drowning,
with it’s sweetness,
old
and wasteful things.
