~ The Garden Near The Sea ~

~ The Garden Near The Sea ~

Pray, be still, for I have found it here
A place where sweet innocence reappears 

Its sacred flowers, alive along the promontory
I sit in silent sanctity, in the garden near the sea

To weave madrigals from such serene repose
Brings joy to voices singing, what I dare compose
From a muse that cleanses, as canticles spray the sea
I bathe in its scented beauty, born rhythmically, inspiring

How can such a place exist, without being overrun
Perhaps its organic magic doesn't work for everyone
But somehow my essence changes, simply by entering
Down the stone path, to the marble bench, and memory swing

Where the cruelties of the world, do gently slip away
No light, no color, was ever seen, like here at heaven's gate
Nor the augury created, so very deep inside of me
Which only happens while reflecting, in the garden, near the sea...

Such depth in every line Tony. You send the reader on a serene journey of the beauty of the soul and it’s connection to nature’s paradise. There is always such a spiritual solace with the sea. It resonates here in your fine woven words. Illuminating the very heavens itself, a truly divine read indeed 
Your good friend

Hi Tony, long time no see. I absolutely bloody love this! It resonates with something I can feel, but can't explain, deep inside of me. I keep reading it over again and it's like I see something different each time. Really enjoying this one 😊. 
Big, missed you hugs.
