Question: Walk in the garden; Care to comment!?
As I walk through my garden
I see the tallest tree
Straight, mighty and magnificent
It is the height of my dreams

I bend down to smell the flowers
Their fragrance is so sweet
So many different colours
That they draw me unto peace

The grass under my feet
Gives me a sense of ease
Supporting my endeavours
Soothing all my needs

I need the rain and the sun
To make my garden complete
And if I see a rainbow
I’ll remember what it meansWww@QuestionHome@Com

It's great, really!. I'm not a poetry buff, but I felt a sense of tranquility all through the poem!.

I really liked the fourth line!. Had to read it more than once!. You have written that line describing the tree whereas I had been thinking of the line as a description of your dreams!. It takes a totally different meaning from that angle!. Very profound!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

How lovely! You really are in touch with nature!. A garden can bring such joy and solace!. I made the decision to share my garden with the local wildlife!. Yes, sometimes they cause a little trouble but nothing compares to seeing a little fawn nestled in behind a tree fern! I grew up in a very plain urban environment but I always tried to garden, even as a child!. Your poem made want to go stroll in the garden!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

This is so lovely!. And from my perspective at the moment of writing this answer - I've read it five times - it is as though it was written by Jesus to us!. I see it other ways, as well, but that is what came through for me!.

Thanks for the stroll in the garden!. I think this provides a much needed stroll for many!. Posting this to the fridge if it's ok!.

Thanks for the walk in the garden on this Q :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

I was driving along in my red 1986 Toyota pickup!. There was a rainbow on the close horizon!. When I splashed a big puddle, the rainbow came in the open windows of my truck, making a complete circle, ending in my lap!. True story!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
