IN THE GARDEN REMOVED

Folder: 
JOURNAL #27

believeth not these earthly veils

knolls of flowery hope

over run with ivy's intimidation

mist she paints fog

a merry frame of flawless sunlight

while the hills trust not the wintery shade

that dazzles their new tender foliage

with promises of reprieve

mossy carpets separate

the invaders feet from soil so warm

and embracing

the dawn has prepared her tea of dew

such gentle repose as this

pure refreshment

upon the soul of the tireless seeker

rain forests

are but gardens slowly removed

from God's own backyard............
