THE GARDEN

For Albert's Poetry Cafe ~ Tovli's 10/40 words contest

 

 

 

The Garden

 

 

The cottage garden's perfume

Splendid in it's glory

An almost holy presence

Sends me into oblivion

A purer state...

 

Lives made of brittle glass

Seek the meaning of infinite sky

Searing sun, serene moon

Two globes of a merciful

Creator ~
