My Secret Garden

A place where I go to sigh
Surrounded by the quiet beauty
Letting the birds’ song direct
My flowing and relaxed mind
Leaving behind the stressful thoughts
That plague my mind and soul
I close my eyes, feeling the sun
Caress my face and shoulders
The sweet scent of the flowers
Whose colors dance together to
Blend in such waves of splendor
So breath taking and serene.
My very own secret garden
My place to hide away from
The intrusive outside world
A place I can simply … exhale.



"in my field of paper flowers
and candy clouds of lullaby
i lie inside myself for hours
and watch my purple sky fly over me"

(smiles) Oh Tara, you've done your own challenge so beautifully, sweet friend, and through the myriads of color smay you drift away and be a somnamblist in your inner Eden! (kiss on cheek) I love this sweet friend, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Tara, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Tara, you have revealed to us a very
beautiful and peaceful "secret". A very
beautiful garden it is, too.


BTW, you met your challenge very well.
