Fertile Garden Poem by Wilfred Mellers

So pleasant the days remind
Happier times I can't find
The soil and sand beneath my feet
Chilled the breeze fruits quite sweet

I saw the valleys that went on forever
For a simple smile lifted my spirits higher
Laughter filling the very air that I breathe
The joy of satisfying moments I held complete

My destiny I held in my hands
Unadorned I stood before god and man
The rains washing over and they comfort me
Seasons purified my very soul for all to see

Negotiated the maze triumphant believers
Dwell not I in the house of backbiters
Set my fears by the wayside
For the sheep can never be the wolf's bride

Pastures green and bursting with verve
In the sky stunningly rainbows they curve
Summer breeze hits the sunny sands
Nature's golden boy reflecting on his lands

Acquired nourishment I had my fill
Stimulated my mind the environment is a thrill
Trodden barefoot sour concerns me not
My existence exposed as the grass amongst my toes

Stationary are the trees swaying in the gust
Solemn fields gray are sometimes a must
Rock-O-bye treetop falls for no reason
Ulterior the motive for all seasons

Comforting cool current of air in the shade
Observing the tides as they go out and in
Vanilla sky on the beach they laid
Brown tint aspiring frantically desiring

Sometimes your travels are a bust
Sometimes your heart you can't trust
Sometimes to win you have to lose
Think carefully before the one you choose
