The Garden

There in the backdrop of beauty

Pristine and crisp

 

Was an unopened door

 

Upon examination it would seem

Curious

 

Something to explore

 

 

But perhaps

 

The wisest thing

Is merely a contemplation

 

And not

Actual exploration

 

For that which

Once opened

 

Can never be unopened again

 

Pristine and crisp

 

With a mirrored

Sharp edge

 

Reflects sharply

 

The entry way

To the garden

    Thanks for sharing STEPH ~ beautiful contemplation. In my experience some things (In Life and Love) some things are best enjoyed "FROM A DISTANCE !" Hugs ~ BRIAN.

    Wonderful write

  • SabreLi

    Contemplation is a good thing, but we must take care not to let it limit us; for sometimes we can get lost in the contemplation alone and look at life just through the lens of our mind's eye rather than actually taking the plunge and experiencing and exploring. Great piece! xx
