The Secret Garden

There grows a garden deep within, in soul’s most secret soil, where ferns of fear and flakes of doubt can daintily uncoil. The seeds I plant in mindful ways take root and multiply, so if I want to harvest hope, my thoughts must hover high.

There grows a garden deep within,

where ferns of fear and flakes of doubt

The seeds I plant in mindful ways

take root and multiply,

so if I want to harvest hope,

my thoughts must hover high.

    A garden in my soul. I like that.

      The question always remains – what are you planting? A nice reminder for myself to be careful of what I allow through my mental filter…

      1. Gallivanta

        Indeed.

    Beautifully said…good reminder that whatever kind of seeds we plant…they grow. Love the poetry. Thanks for sharing!

      Well – with the temps dipping into the mid -20s tonight, I have to think of a garden growing SOMEWHERE!!!! 🙂

        You’re funny! Warm wishes sent your way. We have rain today…cool and gloomy (notice I didn’t say cold – although to me it is).

      A swift staple to the forehead works wonders – unless you’re one of those wussy post-it notes kind of gals…. 😀
