Haven

My home, lull amidst balm, solace in rural dwelling, 
escape from rampant load and skewed burden in towns,
close knit family loiter with passions swelling,
wistful hindsights swoon oe’r sumptuous tree top crowns,
I extol mint leaf purlieus, tranquil garland phase,
in course sentient, where friction, discord, worry,
is banished at the whiff of an ambrosial haze,
prismatic hues, those scenic views soothe when in a hurry,
seconds taciturn as the peep day sunrise looms,
to linger in  silence yet caress the spring  omen,
purple clouds tint cocooning   garden  blooms,
In artic winter, tranquil spot engulfs twin  snowmen, 
time counts for little when under bright shelter’s spell,
relief from futile rigours found behind green hedge,
sweet chirp from red crest bird cordons off this shell,
mine to cling to  and  seek refuge when life is on edge,
fresh fruit one munches in orchard dribbles down chin,
to  pluck mushy berries  from sprawling brambles,
and inhale scented gust with a surreal grin,
heaven in a haven,  sweet home from  madcap scrambles
