Notes About The Poem

a refuge, isolated

each poet dreams of a secret retreat, a refuge, isolated
a solitary place in which to write, to enfold oneself 
in bliss and peace, perhaps where waves crash
on rocks, or a garden, or a tranquil cemetery
yes, that is where I find my poetic voice
amongst the mossy cemetery stones

Sam Kauffman September 3, 2024 at 11:53 AM I really like this soulful poem, Constance. You have so beautifully expressed the "secret garden" we seek where poetry is born. And, each of us finds inspiration in a different setting. Sending you abundant blessings in this season of abundance.
