Fantasy K   M

I wandered along the pathway

Far from  my little grey house

Far from the things I loved

I wanted to roam.

–

I wanted to see what it felt like

To be by myself

With a land of Strange things around me

So I crept forward with stealth.

–

I left my garden of sunshine

Where my favourite flowers grew

The flowers I tended daily

And I wondered if they knew.

–

I wondered if I’d been dreaming

When I bade them farewell

For they all seemed to talk plainly

Though usually tis hard to tell.

–

They seem to say “we will miss you’

But we understand why you go

And I turned away for it must be me

I loved them all so.

–

I prayed to the dew & the sunshine,

To tend my garden well

And the snow and the frost to keep it from harm

When winter fell.

–

I trundled along the pathway

To my land of strange things

They sparkled in the sunshine,

And beckon me in.

–

I went because I’d no money,

And imagined myself awfully poor

I knew when I reached the city of wealth,

I’d want for money no more.

–

But through money came quiet easily

My wealth was diminishing fast

For I found when inside the city

The glitter did not last.

–

Though money past through my fingers,

Hundreds of pounds a day,

Yet my interest lie in my little rough spot,

A thousand miles away.

–

I dreamed of my garden of sunshine,

When asleep in my city of glare,

I fancied it all choked with weeds,

Because it was needing my care.

–

So I gave back my gold to the land of strange things.

And away from those pavements I hastened my steps.

Nor did I take note of the voice that called,

From the city of gaudy glitter.

–

I hastened my steps to my garden

Once more my flowers to tend.

And never again

For money or fame

Will I my small plot exchange

The view is a huge inspiration on my art.From my desk at the time I made this piece I had this view.Things change and now I craft in a different area of the house so the view now includes a large tree but is no less stunning.
