Glory To The Garden
The utter splendour of garden life
Encompassed by nature, calm and serene
A sanctuary away from all that strife
Oh what a pleasure it has been!
Wondrous sounds competing all around
With eyes closed, I listen in
Standing barefoot on grassy ground
A blissful deluge has me in a spin
A lonely droplet descends from above
Splash! A pond ripples of a glistening fluid
Hidden within a small meadow grove
A droplet now lost in a swirling multitude
Ponds, hedgerows, and colourful meadows
An array of habitats, for one and all
The river sparkles as it flows
A buzzard glides, I hear his call
Duelling dragonflies have set the scene
Blooms of yellow, blue and vibrant lime
And all the hues found in between
A magical moment captured in time
This enchanting space touched the hearts of many
A slice of heaven for all who stood within
A defining place along my spiritual journey
It resonates deep beneath my skin
