There Is a Garden in My Heart

July 24, 2017

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. This week’s theme is gardens.

Today’s poem is about a spiritual garden in which one can find peace.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.

Yours,

Nick Gordon

There is a garden in my heart

More beautiful than words,

Filled with subtle scents and shades

And the rhapsodies of birds.

I go there to refill my cup,

Or, when I am alone,

To find my favorite rock and trace

The smile upon the stone.

When the wind blows in my heart,

Stirring up the sea,

I turn my back upon the waves

And return to me.

I sit beside a quiet pool

And gaze down at the sky,

And feel a yearning so complete

I cannot help but cry.
