A Welders Touch


A welder’s hand touched upon iron
and made a dream. He bent
this iron forming curves so delicate
gracing every direction,
twisting it just so giving  an unending
feeling. He made pitched
arches that point to heaven inviting
the angels to bless what
ever garden this gate resides in.

Such a work of beauty this gate, it
now rest peacefully at the
entrance of a rose garden staggering
in size. Every possible color
of the rainbow this garden posses, with
tender love given it day
after day this garden of such sweet
smelling delight.

Little wood chairs and cherubs bless
its paths inviting the
angels to rest a spell and upward to
the sky the roses are
facing swaying to and fro in praising
rhythm giving thanks to
there creator.


I sit here in awe at the sheer beauty
before me in natures so
bounteous glory, my heart at peace
and my soul in no want,
and I wonder with gleam where the
welder with such beauty
in mind is and if he would see this
magnificent garden
and profess candidly in regards to the
perfect place his
precious iron gate resides.

Oh, Cerenity~
What a lovely look at the art of another.
I so admire the iron gates wrought from the hands of the artisans.  
It is a craft of beauty for sure.

How imaginative of you.
You must surely have seen a gate
that impressed your precious muse.
Beautifully done.  So glad you shared.

Marge,

Thank you so much for your kind words, and yes I have this gate at the entrance to my rose garden, a friend was moving and this was just sitting against a wall and she said I could have it if I wanted it and of course my mind was light up in sheer delight at the wonderful things that might come of this  beautiful gate.

Love, Cerenity

I got an interesting view from your lookout here... dad in-law used to tell my wife (when she was 4 or 5) that she was eating up all his welding rods... she never did understand for years what he meant.

Thanks,

Hi Everyone

Thank you so much for your kind replys, my rose garden is not as beautiful as the poem says but a rose is the most beautiful flower I think, but the gate is quiet lovely and made a good subject, or at lest im trying to write more positive poetry and on the spot poetry I find that to be hard for some reason, I am more the same time every day kind of writer, any way thanks again.

Love,  Cerenity
