~ THE GARDEN OF THE SOUL ~
There exists a garden, of the soul
A paradisiacal water's edge, is that place
Wherein, all thoughts of beauty ebb and flow
A return to primitive purity in the human race
Where loving laughter glows as a rosebud's morn
With a welcome pause in the days concerns
Where the potential of the self was born
Where the simplicity of the garden is learned
Then, pure silence....
Upon a winsome whisper, that silence teeters
Until the mind begins to swim so freely
That pearls 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,
Miraculously...
Tony Taylor

................. I like many of those who have visited these words before me .. and likewise, those who are yet to follow will most probably have already given some thought to the topic in question .. I know I have often thought long and hard about such mysteries, such places & esoteric wonders as the mind, the soul n stuff .......................... Reading you today has made me sit back and wonder even more .. and for no other reason than the way you have painted a picture in my mind that illuminates even more brightly when I close my eyes and try to recall the words you have used in the main body of your poem to describe a place worthy of such wonder ....
so thanks for that ............................ over n out buddy ...................... N :)
WOW!! Sir NEVILLE!!.....you are the last person on Cosmo that I would have ever expected to have any curiosity where 'the esoteric' was concerned....I have always thought of you as the more conventional type who's approach to the poetic was more along the lines of altruism.....truly kind!!......So I apologize for making that assumption......anyway, I ramble.......this is one of the best comments I have ever received....on a personal level that is.....I am so very proud to know that this poem had such an effect.....and you are quite kind for having shared it!!.....Thanx so much NEVILLE!!......stay groovy brother!!.....LOVE & ROCKETS!!.....T xo : )
I assure you, you are most welcome Tony & then some :)
Another well crafted mind bender (at least mine)

Tony
Smiles!!.....Thanx JP!!...it IS appreciated brother!!.......later......T xo : )
reading this with 'binaural beats focus music' for the studying im supposed to be doing haha. I found myself opening cosmofunnel again and then clicking on this very beautiful poem. The music does go together really well too, great write!
Again you have transported us Tony...is this the death we all dread? This beautiful place? I think it is, I am eating books on NDE,s OBE,s etc these days. I actually feel this place in my peripheral vision yet great loss makes me angry at it...at the system lol. It is so nice to read your magnificent work and to once again engage with the tranquility of 'other' x
I am so very happy to hear that MARION......those books will definitely help as a catalyst to get you to where you are most certainly headed.....and seeing/reading your words that promote your "engaging with the tranquility of 'other'! sets my mind at ease where you are concerned......trust in your peripheral vision my friend.....it WILL pay dividends ~! so to speak!!....smiles......T xo : )
