Garden Sanctuary

GARDEN SANCTUARY



The night enfolds me
like a green mother.
It nurtures me
in its black womb.

Stars are tiny sounds
a trillion miles away
but where I sit, silence
folds its arms around my head.

I let blossoms form within -
their chrysanthemum retreat
becomes solitude and haven,
the place I first find peace.

Dew’s green tongue
laughs against my arm.
Nurtured deep inside myself
my seedling heart grows warm.

i AM GLAD YOU ARE BETTER! Any better is better than no better.

Isn't this a nice poem? I like it.

If you want to see the editor version of Silk Creek Review with lots of pictures and some of Scott's poems, mine and Doug's, there is a link in the Side bar and down in one of the earliest posts on this Silk Creek Portal.

I hope you continue to feel well, better and better every day! :-)

When Peg visits the blog and sees all those comments, she may think they are about her poem and then be disappointed. It is a very nice poem. :-)
