Beryl Edmonds Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Written 16th May 2026

My Heart is a Secret Garden Poetry Contest

Sponsored by: Silent One

 

My Heart is a Secret Garden

 My heart is a secret garden
that only I beget to roam
For I’m guardian of the code
etched on my mind, and mine alone.

The garden's my divine haven
a special supreme place to be
When I'm in need of some me time
to rid troubled thoughts of debris.

Birdsong, bees buzz, breaks the silence
with supreme musicality
The fine tweeting and the buzzing
bringing peace restored unto me.

A unique perfume of roses
lavender, hyacinth of blue
All are my soul's restoration
that brings me back, sat here with you.

Eve Roper May 17, 2026 at 8:22 AM Every line has its own meaning, "that only I beget to roam" a place you alone reside. "garden's my divine" as the Holy Spirit reigns to for you to come for peace.. "peace restored" with his Word.. "soul's restoration" only you sometimes can bring order. Enjoyed reading. Hope you are doing well. Beryl Edmonds May 17, 2026 at 9:48 AM Thank you Eve, at this moment in time all is well… Beryl
