The Back Garden

A patch of your own paradise
Is still privy to the busy heart

Even whilst your feet
March through the urban jungle

And then comes a certain moment,
A tiny window
Appears in the middle of the madding blur

When the butter sunshine peeks through
Setting the roses aglow and lilacs swaying in joy

You spot your Muse
Walking slowly up the altar…

Some celebrations
Are indeed worth the wait.
