In the center of her soul is a garden;

In the center of the garden is a tree.

In the center of the tree, is a bouquet;

In the center of the bouquet, is a bud.

In the center of the bud, is the choice for good and evil;

In the center of the choice, is her soul.

In the center of her soul is a garden…

    been having this song in my head for the last few days “Jesus in the Center of it all” … and with Him your poetry truly heals the heart! Thanks so much!!!

    Melody,
    Beautiful picture and insightful words.
    The heart, the very center of our thoughts, feelings, and emotions…needs constant attention…otherwise we make wrong and yes evil choices that determine the course of our lives.
    Thanks for sharing!

      ‘Guard your heart above all else…’ Very important advice, isn’t it?? Thanks Glenda!

    Gorgeous. And what is the lovely flower?

    1. melodylowes

      It’s a variety of cranberry – can’t think of the name offhand. It’s quite pretty, and covered with blooms right now! They don’t last very long – so I have to make sure I get out and enjoy them while they are around!

      1. Gallivanta

        A fruiting variety?

      2. melodylowes

        Yes, although the birds get them before I do! 🙂

  13. The right mood

    Melody, I really like this poem! it’s deep and circular. I like the idea of a garden in our souls. Among the numerous definitions of that place, this is a convincing one. yes.

      Thanks Laura! 🙂

    I didn’t think your poetry cold get better, but it has. This is excellent.

    1. melodylowes

      Wow, thanks, Symanntha. Nice updated pic!

        Thank you! My husband, who is not good with cameras, took it.
