A PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS

A PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS

A Poem by andrew mitchell
"

Comparing a loved one's thoughts or a friends for that matter as you get to know them to that of a secret garden.

"
That little gate between the walls
Entices curiosity in us all
For mysteries, dreams are hidden within;
Ready for the discoverer to begin.
To open slowly the unlatched gate
To reveal a landscape changing shape,
And as you travel this garden path
The excitement builds. Will it last?
For the gate can close on knowledge so vast
And with it secrets from the past.

Hi Andrew. I get the feeling with this, that your subconscious mind has taken you on a little journey, one that you wanted to travel, but have some reservations about. It is life, I know, but the mind takes us further than physical courage. I like that have left the gate open, knowing it might close of its own volition at any time. A great analogy here and an extremely creative write. Once again, you have plumbed the depths and uncovered a mystery of life, alf

Ah! It was indeed the subconscious!!
Really invokes a great sense of wonder just by reading it. Curiosity is one of the biggest symptoms of the human condition

I really like this. My heart got a little excited because I absolutely love real scenery like this. With your words I could feel it so clearly, yet I could see the garden with my own imagination. If any of that makes sense. :D

Thoughts are the most wild things in the world.. they can take any shape and lead you from nowhere to everywhere... the formation of the piece is really nice. Great job :)
