SECLUSION

Michael Edwards

 

 

SECLUSION

 

The rising sun abjures the night

and through the latticed canopy

its enfilading beams reach down

upon the node where paths reach out,

their filial ties in evidence.

 

This lonely spot

where natures trowel plants moss and fern

and couples meet in harmony

no adumbrations foul their love:

unseen, unheard in isolation.

      The studio is where I escape from Strictly Come dancing - ah heaven!

        Thanks PH - my little bit of England and another part of the wall which runs the width of the garden with house behind me as I took the photo if that makes sense. Not a large garden but very private and of a size to keep it always looking good - at present with a lovely display of tulips etc.

        • P.H.Rose

          Looks lovely....

        • willyweed

          and I'll read that fine poem again.ww

            Tea will be served on the lawn with muffins don't you know.

            A quiet place for art and the art of love. What more could a person want? A lovely garden and a lovely poem, perhaps the "node" where their "paths" cross? A terrific write. - Phil A.

              Thanks Phil - its where I escape from the awful nonsense on TV.
