Soul's Sanctuary by ~saladin:iconsaladin:



Fields of green
Stretching to eternity
Grass as soft as silk
Smells as rich and full
As the Summers of our youth

Stoop and gather
A handful of verdant blades
Let trickle through fingers
Now stained darkest green
By Nature's lifeblood, freely given

Straighten and savour
These rolling plains
These sun kissed fields
This landscape of the mind
Absolute perfection

From the sky of crystal blue
To the wildflowers,
Flawless, Fragrant,
Thriving underfoot
Gentle on the eye
Soothing on the soul

As is the silence
Broken only by the breath
Of the very land itself
A single, soundless sigh
Of absolute contention

Drink deeply
From the very spirit
Of this verdant spring
Of life and beauty
This taintless place

Whose very aura
Permeates the heart
This dream of life
Takes root in minds
Never fading, never leaving

Share with me
In this oasis of the imagination
A haven from the world
A refuge for the weary
Souls at peace

For now...

And evermore...

Just a little something I wrote this evening while looking out of my window at the cold, rainfilled Glasgow skyline. I got to thinking about a place I wished existed where I could just run back to whenever the world got too miserable.

I guess this would be it. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it :)

I want to go there. I could use a break myself:) I like this a lot... very good visuals... paints a very pretty picture of utopia. I'm keeping this...

Happily residing in a dimension of pure chaos
I wish there's some place like this for me too.

:+fav:
very soothing rhythm.. stirring language..

if this place doesn't exist in reality then you've built it beautifully, for a brief moment, in the mind
Unfortunately, this place does not exist in reality, or at least the reality I know. I do, however, hope to find it some day :)

Thanks for commenting :hug:
