Secret garden.



This garden is my solitude
a magical, mystical place,
where spiders spin webs of lace
and butterflies flutter with grace.

Crystal streams shimmer like diamonds
and trees are laden with fruit
peacocks fan their tails with pride
so glorious, so dignified.

There's no other place I'd rather be
than here under shade of this willow tree
such peace, such joy, tranquility,
completely washes over me.
