This lonely reed surrounded pool. <br />Far from the noise of other men. <br />Is always serene, cool and green. <br />The haunt of grebe and water hen. <br /> <br />I found it quite by accident. <br /> Somehow it seemed to call to me, <br /> as if it knew I’d be content <br />to sit beside it quietly. <br /> <br />And it is true I’m happy here. <br />I can find peace to meditate. <br /> Nobody comes to interfere <br />and I achieve an altered state <br /> <br />of consciousness in which I go <br />beyond the little word I know <br />I recognise no boundary <br />and for a little while I’m free. <br /> <br />Although I temporarily <br /> escape the laws of gravity <br />I must return reluctantly <br /> to the world of reality. <br /> <br />This reed fringed pool has proved to be. <br />A place where I can instantly <br />attain perfect serenity. <br />Free from the worlds insanity. <br /> <br />2-Dec-08 <br />http: // blog.mysapce.com.poetic piers<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-secret-place-for-friend-thad/
