Notes About The Poem

My Secret Garden

I invite peace within my circle,
shut out the negative that's toxic.
I dwell on what's positive and
keep my distance of all that's poison.
I fill my head with thoughts that
will contribute to a better life.
I chase away any dark thoughts
that bring with them foul clouds.
