My Secret Garden

There is a special secret place Where my heavy heart will go Fair this lovely little garden Care of nature here I know Alone, gentle breezes whisper Grown in solitude, branches sway Stone wall a place to linger Intone the songs that waters play Between the beeches iris grow Unseen a nest buried in the branch Green a place to rest my head Queens of spring, the daffodils dance May you find your secret garden Away from the madness and the strife Play a bit in innocence, and Stay the hard edges of your life Barbara Gorelick 2/13/14 Secret Garden contest... Lento Form

What a lovely place you have described, Barbara. A person could sit in this secret garden of yours and become completely and wonderfully serene.
