Thoughts Through Garden's Glittering

Thoughts Through Garden's Glittering

My thoughts penetrate the maze
Circling back through hedges lovely green
Etched into silvery trees, their mistress' name
Such sacred mezzotint so rarely seen
Easily decorating my glittering solitude
---------------------------------------------------
Like this, no white nor yellow was ever seen
And so I consider good fortune's divine sanction
Here where Paladin powers golden gleam
Appear as the attenuated seeds of procreation
So gracefully decorating this garden's pulchritude
---------------------------------------------------
Not even aware of how I dropped anchor here
My thoughts flow through a lattice of crystallography
This glistening garden, empties me of fear
And I dive through my mind's new found topography
While mindfully decorating new ideas with exactitude
---------------------------------------------------
As the veil is lifted from heavy eyes
I am left wondering, was it all just the vernal sunshine
Creating visions in this oasis of sweet surprises
Or am I just a dreamer down deep inside
Haphazardly decorating my own glittering solitude..

What sometimes seems real becomes a mere vision of our mind but what is the mind but the creator of such beautiful matter. Wonderful poem Tony.

Never a "glance Poet" Be prepared to be immersed, tantalized and mesmerized, when wandering through a write of Tony's.
As always colorful imagery. poet flow. Great write!

Wow, Tony.
Such extensive vocabulary on display here.
In order to be a master of the English language one must possess a well-oiled and comprehensive vocabulary.
No doubt about it.
Words such as mezzotint, attenuated, pulchritude, crystallography, topography, exactitude, and vernal all used basically to describe a beautiful glistening garden paradise.
Nicely penned!

Thank you DEAN!!..... when you read a lot of poetry most of those are words are a must-know......I had to seek out the words Mezzotint & Crystallography because in the first version of this piece the details were more intricate...... but ~ " Writing is re-writing"......thanx again for noticing the details dear poet brother!!......Kings to you!!.....T xo ??✴✴?✴✴❤

Dear Tony,

In the sanctum of his garden
He escapes from all Mankind
To contemplate what life is
And inner peace to find

.
The trees and budding flowers
Sway gently in the breeze
He breathes in of their beauty
As he drops down to his knees

.
He thanks the Lord for leading him
Back to Eden once again
Where now he finds total love and repentance
Forever there to spend

Love you Bro,
Larry xxx
