In the China Garden where the silence grows... The dawn may rarely whisper but it's quite a feeling to behold. Love laughed to boldly but conquered my heart with a kiss. Yet, it spoke with gentle hands when we sealed our midnight promise. We grow water lillys gracefully in the moonlit pond. And float blossoms of fairy secrecy over Stoke Raven and beyond. It is our private wonder. Shhh...don't tell a soul. We keep a watchful eye, where time and vines might take their toll. The wind blows in elegant rhythm to our dance along the maze. And the buzz of quiet perfection is not faded by morning's haze. Since long before forever and forever it just might last. Protected by souls intertwined in the web of spells it's cast. In the China Garden, where confusion falls away. I leave my heart each night and reclaim it each new day. .*.*.*.This poem was inspired by the novel, "The China Garden" by Liz Berry.*.*.*. "I'm sorry for telling u love was unnecessary... making u lose ur way. I'm sure I'll be as sad as u feel." ~Touch and Go |

Since long before forever and forever it just might last. Protected by souls intertwined in the web of spells it's cast. In the China Garden, where confusion falls away. I leave my heart each night and reclaim it each new day. --------------- WOW this is so lovely and mystical wonderful imagery and emotions perfect rhyme and flow...so serene excellent writing...truly. take care jm There are places inside our souls - that have never been touched.
