My Secret Garden

I'm sure everyone has their 'sanctuary'. This is mine.

I sleep to dream the chaos away underneath the moonlit skies. Clouded visions enter inside my mind, taking me on a journey to a world of enchantment and serenity.

 

Through the shimmering vines, a golden gate awaits me...and only I hold that special key to unlock such a sturdy gate.

 

Opening the door of technicolor dreams, flowers aligned against the pathways of gold leading the way through the garden.

 

My everlasting tears flow into the rivers that feed my special place with life and beauty while listening to the sweet sounds of the waterfalls in the distance of the mountains - gentle whispers that lead me closer in as the soft breezes caresses my cheek, with the flowing aroma of lillies and purple haze lilacs overwhelming every sense of my being.

 

Underneath my weeping willow tree surrounded by emerald green --finally I'm at an escape from the reality of the outside world. Surrounded by my beauty and the muses of inspiration, holding my deepest secrets and truths, binding them tightly in these vines.

 

Alone in nature's beauty.....My secret garden.

This poem reminds me of something that is somewhat of a dream to me as well. That world that I tap into when I'm writing, where anything is possible. I love how you mentioned the gate and key; when I have writer's block, it feels as though I've misplaced my key and have to find it. Overall, it's just beautifully done. I love the imagery and the flow. I also love the smell of lilies and lilacs, so I could imagine myself in the midst of it fairly easily. you also picked beautiful pictures to go along with it, which makes it that much better. Good work.

There's an intimation that the garden and you are one, divided by time, a rose there...... an orchid here.

Fluid movments and traced rememberance really negate the flow of the piece, well done, good read.
