Tranquility, though small the piece may be Amidst the urban chaos, it is mine; A deed so states; this is my property My privacy is closely kept by pine, A fence that lets me view the clouds and sky And tips of houses, nothing more or less; A juniper is home for friends that fly; This is my favorite place, I must confess; Gazeboes, tiny, hang upon each post Awaiting bright new flowers come the Spring The season of the four I love the most; Rebirth begins and causes me to sing Reminding me that death is not the end But lends itself again to life anew It is a truth on which I can depend To part the clouds and bid the gloom adieu. For all life’s clamor I have found the cure; It waits for me outside my garden door. Denise |

Your garden sounds lovely!! I too love going into the garden to find peace and serenity. Beautiful poem and such a good response to L.D.'s challenge! Love and hugs, Lizzie  "Poetry is the true expression of my soul, it is my ultimate means of communication. It is my rainbow of delight." |

Denise, You could not have posted a better poem for the challenge, my all time favorite of yours, and I will come see your garden one day soon while it is in full bloom, and the sun shining bright and every moment a blessing of tranquility. |

This is absolutely beautiful Denise. This left me with such a feeling of peace and contentment. Do you mind if I print this one? "A poet is someone who is astonished by everything." - anonymous |

Beautiful words transported me swiftly to a beautiful and tranquil idyl. Thank you.

Thanks for your kind words, Kaile! I'm glad I was able to share with you the pleasure of my garden. It's very small, my block is not much more than a block of flats, but it's mine and it is very lovely and private. Denise |

Your garden sounds like the most splendid place to sit, and, like it provides a lot of inspiration. For those of us who don't exactly have a green thumb, we end up sitting at the park, far less beautiful, and full of screaming little kids! Life defines no more than what it is you ask for.
