HAVEN - IN MY HEART

HAVEN....

In my Heart...
There is a Garden, with hedges of varied hue,

Where flit from branch to branch

Sun-birds, sparrows, butterflies, bulbul - one or two.

Delight is a constant companion

Who visits this secret Garden with me;

Here pierces my ears,

Childrens' laughte,r as they swing in blissful glee.

The sacred scent of the Rose

Drags the mind into repose,

And reflections-

Of the Ethereal kind ;

Where shafts of Sunlight slice through

Dark bordering clouds of Doubt

To Light up this unmitigated Soul......
