Notes About The Poem

 

The Abandoned Garden

 
and in my dreamy dream I walk over a hill
where the high sun above is shining bright
and find an abandoned garden growing at will
with buds and blooms vibrant-  oh, what a sight

crocuses, roses, curious flowers unknown
a deep purple bursting-  a twining plait
and beside a blue pond I sit on a worn stone
all enclosed by a mossed wall with ornate gate

I linger there among yellow lilies sun kissed
in this garden so strange, so fair and sweet
but now-   I must from this dream untwist
as mist swirls and twirls starting at my feet
