Alignment Guide

As I’m bowed, in cares distraught Lightness unbends, thru an arbor caught In the rigid coils of tight binds Gladness interlaces with vines that unwind Netted in a shadow of grasping night Moonlit petals glow their reflective sight Entrenched in weight of concrete inveighs Nectarine wings point the scented airy way… This entry is just the beginning of sanctuary Gardens small grow and call the wisdom of trees… Utopian dreams realign where nature breathes Inviting serenity in wraps of soothing wreathes Deep as the roots and high as a sun-ride Elevation is granted where greenery’s the guide.

Hello Susan, Another thought provoking write that seizes original rhyme by the throat. Consistently, you prod the reader to think carefully on each challenging line. As you write, there is indeed a spiritual quality to greenery. Best wishes, Brian
