A HAVEN OF EARTHLY DELIGHTS
IT WAS ON THE SUNNIEST OF DAYS WE TOOK
OUR JOUNEY ALONG COUNTRY LANES,
LINED WITH VERGE AND HEDGE AND TREE.
OUR JOURNEY WAS NOT PLANNED, WE JUST WENT,
AND WHERE WE FINISHED UP WAS WHERE WE
WOULD WISH TO BE.
OUR DESIRE WAS TO GO, GIVING NO
DESIRE TO BEST LAID PLANS, WHICH
WOULD INCLUDE TIME AND PLACE.
WE HAD VENTURED FORTH LEAVING
BEHING RYME AND REASON, ENTRUSTING
OURSELVES TO DESTINY'S GRACE.
OUR MEANDERING JOURNEY THROUGH
LEAFY LANES, LED US TO A ROTUND
STRUCTURE, MUD BRICK BUILT, OF EARTHY HUE.
WITH BEAMS ROUGHT HEWN, THATCHED
WITH GRASSM IT'S WALLS GIRDED WITH FLOWERS,
COLOURED RED AND YELLOW AND BLUE.
IT WAS A HAVEN FILLED WITH THE ORIGINAL,
OF POTTED PLANTS AND BASKETS
FILLED WITH DRIED SCENTED FLOWERS.
OF STATUETTS AND EARTHEN BOWLS AND
WIND CHIMES, A PLACE OF MANY DELIGHTS
TO BEWITCH THE BROWSING VISITOR FOR HOURS.
A SHADY GARDEN OFFERED RESPITE FROM THE HOT
MORNING SUN, AND COOL REFRESHING DRINKS
AND HOME MADE FARE TEMPTED US, THOUGH
OUR BROWSING WAS ALL BUT DONE.
IT WAS AN OASIS OF PEACE WE HAD FOUND FOR OURSELVES,
CLOSE TO NATURE WHERE WE COULD TAKE OUR
RECREATION, AND RECREATE FOR ONE BRIEF MOMENT
THAT ON WHICH ONLY THE MIND TO OFTEN DWELLS.
