A Garden

Nancy


Day-doors
Light locked
Forbid me

Night
Compassionate gate-keeper
Neglects his rounds

Weepy in sapphire rain
Streaked with star shadow
Rumpled awake by silent stride
My garden
Imagines itself
Dusted in sunshine
Green
For me

    Oh, I absolutely love your use of alliteration, Nancy! "Day-doors ... light-locked" - that is a fantastic beginning, too.

    My favourite part: "Dusted in sunshine" ... how do you do it? I really wonder sometimes, how you weave this magic. Beautiful. I'm going to dream tonight ... of sapphire rain.

    Michelle, I don't know what to say but Thank You! Can you see me blushing??? I confess to liking 'sapphire rain', too...though it seemed almost logical ... as Mr. Spock would undoubtedly declare it! :) Nancy

    That was beautiful. Every word sparked an image. Beautifully amazing. 'Weepy in sapphire rain
    Streaked with star shadow'.. *SIGH* it sounds wonderful, Nancy. :D
