Arc and swoop gracefully down the slope.
The pathway flanked by flotillas of crocuses
Curving down to the wind-combed lake.
Dark, quiet walkways untouched
Save for chattering birds and the fragrant damp
Clinging to the trees and moss-covered earth.
On the banks by the Abbey, crumbling now,
Delicate posies of primroses
Push through a bed of fallen catkins
Thriving in cool shade beneath the trees.
Clouds race gaily across the sky,
Hush, gently the wind closes my eyes.
O! joy to the world that such places exist
And that peace fills my heart once again.

Walking in the Abbey

Great crescent-shaped swathes of daffodils
Arc and swoop gracefully down the slope.
The pathway flanked by flotillas of crocuses
Curving down to the wind-combed lake.
Dark, quiet walkways untouched
Save for chattering birds and the fragrant damp
Clinging to the trees and moss-covered earth.
On the banks by the Abbey, crumbling now,
Delicate posies of primroses
Push through a bed of fallen catkins
Thriving in cool shade beneath the trees.
Clouds race gaily across the sky,
Hush, gently the wind closes my eyes.
O! joy to the world that such places exist
And that peace fills my heart once again.

Your poem was so SO visual that perhaps I was there. Oh how I wish to be.

I can glimpse the daffodils and crocuses!

This is breathtaking and I believe your pen has painted an elegant, visual - one of a kind.

Your descriptions are simply mesmerizing.

Very high praise for this one.

Omigosh Dom, this was breathtaking. How wondrous
that you have, not only found this place, but have shared
the description with us all for our own peace of heart.

There is a gentle wafting of the soul in your words..
You are so fortunate to have such a place to find serenity . :)

Your metaphors, lest your state of mind in this,

like a fairytale or a dream..
