IF A DOOR IS SHUT ~ ALWAYS OPEN IT ~ IT MIGHT LEAD TO PARADISE !
WHEN I WAS YOUNG ~ I stayed in Wales with My Aunty
She had a wonderful GARDEN for me to play in ......
And a Big Green Door ~ which was set in a ......
High Wall too tall to climb ~ Door had no handle !
What*s behind the Door ~ I asked ~ can I open it ?
*NO NO* My Aunty said ~ Always keep away from the Green Door !
Being a BOY I was determined to go through the Door
So one day ~ when Aunty was out shopping
I pushed it hard and it swung OPEN ! It was Paradise !
I could hear music like Peruvian Pan Pipes which were popular
The Door closed behind me ~ I was in the Enchanted Garden
There were Angels & Blossoms & Butterflies ~ Paths & Steps !
I didn*t have a Video Camera but it all videoed into my Brain
Press the button and you will what I saw in 1993 !
Along the Paths were Roses of every Hue and the Steps .....
Led into even more Gardens ~ some natural ~ some pristine
Flowers of every description ~ and PICNIC TABLES for Lunch !
There were more Marble Statues of Lovely Ladies ~ WOW !
There were flowers of every variety ~ I loved the Hollyhocks .....
And Old Stone Buildings like Port Mierion all deserted !
Lots of Doors & Gates and Pillared Colonnades ~ like in Greece
And Avenues of Pergolas covered in Ramblin\' Roses
The Garden went on for ever and ever and ever !
BUT I had too retrace my steps to the Green Door again !
There was a Handle on the Garden Side so I pulled it OPEN ......
And slipped through ! As I walked towards the House ~ Aunty arrived
I daren*t tell her I had been through the Green Door and ......
And into the Secret Garden ~ so I told her Id been playing on the Swing !
Strangely ~ when I went back in 1994 the Green Door was bricked up
That was 25 years ago ~ BUT I will never forget it ~ I WAS THERE !
Comments please ~ Have you had a similar experience ? Love Brian XOX
