Poem -
~ The Garden Of The Soul ~
There exists a garden in the soul
A paradisiacal water's edge, is that place
Wherein, all thoughts of beauty do flow
A return to primitive purity in the human race...
Where lovely laughter glows as a rosebuds morn
Comes a pause in the days concerns
Where the potential of the self was born
Where the simplicity of this garden is learned...
Upon a whisper, a silence teeters
'til the mind begins to swim so freely
Where petals from the garden smell much sweeter
And the spirit of humanity, is most swimmingly
Born, bathed, and set free to ponder
The Garden of the soul
Itself,
In all of its splendor,
In all of its wonder,
Most,
Enigmatically....

" I don't like weeds. They, spoil the aesthetic. And, the kinetic !! " The movement slowed by want of better borders, and, pathway areas. The appeal of the natural enhanced by man-management. To, bring harmonious retreats, away from the mayhem of disorganized landscaping.
The tender treatment of the soul bears a remarkable resemblance. You have to feel, your way. To get close to " The Others " and the lovers. As well as " brothers " and " mothers " !!! :) To, sense together. Within, yourself. And, as part of the world. However, we want to view, it !!! KNOW, WHAT IS BEST FOR YOU, AND YOURS. In, the light of architecture, of terrain, and the frame. The Big Picture leaving you in no doubt where your heart lies. And, yearns to show, what blossoms, and what nourishes. " THE SECRET GARDEN, " of the " Garden State, " need not be secret to everyone, when trust requires connection to the " beautiful " Amazing Grace, of LIFE.
LOL!! LOL!!...you're too funny RICHARD!!...your comments make me smile...and then they take me to some pretty cool places in mind!!…..you're pretty groovy brother!!….thanx so much for this!!…….smiles....T xo : )
My Dear Brother Tony,
This powerful write is the tiller of its readers minds, cultivating intense flowering of their psyches. Brilliant! Pinned!
The seeds of my existence
Were planted in the garden of my Soul
They became softly scented flowers
Blossoming and whole
.
Their sweet aromas enveloped me
Taught my mind that which it sought
The essence of my being
The power of my thoughts
All my love,

Wow Brother LARRY!!...that is a WAY intense comment...and I don't know just how perfect it is....but I LOVE the way you referenced the flowering weed amid the desert of their psyches!.....If that's a fact.....Then I'm going for my degree!! Lol!!...what do you call that? Doctor Of Poetic Psychology or something?!!.....Big Smiles!!….thanx so much my friend!!…..Lots of hugs n stuff!!…..I think you've just made my week!!…….T xo : )
My Dear Brother Tony,

Such accolades for their excellence, a "Literature Doctorate"
All my love,
