See, in our hands, we hold the key
to our secret garden in a far land;
A refuge, the sacred place, that
defies deepest time and darkest space
that exists between the shadows,
of our two lonely lost worlds;
There, a distant light shines
in the corridors of our hearts
that ache from the confusion of life,
to lead us a real peace that beckons;
From where you sit in forsaken solitude,
to here, where I forever stand alone,
we both reach out for the sanctuary
of this serene, hidden fair haven;
Behind the endless walls of fantasy
there shines grace of a promise,
barely new--forever old, a
drawing of the two, not to be denied.

A scented night breeze blows, to
sift through the shattered souls
that walk together hand-in-hand
in emerald glow of the sunset flash;
Hush breathe, eyes gently stare
in reflection of what is there, as
we slowly inhale breathing space;
Fingers that tremble, stroke the keys,
as our lonely hands reach out
to the touch the crystallized pane
between the shadows of two worlds,
where, there exists the secret garden,
in the wonderment of our minds.

and in this garden you will find me,
waiting with arms open for your love.
may the soft breeze of the night wind
speed you to our secret garden.

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

Exquisite! Enchanting beyond words!

Belief is a truth held in the mind; faith is a fire in the heart.

nice!

..and after reading this I thought I'd try reaching out touching the pane, and low & behold, got the dickens shocked out of me, so folks don't try this at home. (smiles)

Welcome to Passions.  May I say it is a pleasure to read something written with such care and obviously you put a lot into this one. Hope to read more from you!

Wow!  Now that I've recovered my breath, welcome to Passions!  This is exquisite, and I'm looking forward to reading more from you.
