Every Garden has a Soul, Poetry of Victoria Pettella



Every Garden has a Soul



A Light Within




The Garden is like a Universal Spirit



Carrying a Prayer of Creation



The Garden is a Gatekeeper

of each Season's Light




The Garden is a Diviner of Secrets,


A Shape-shifter of Time and Space



The Garden is a Poet

of vines and greenery,

A Voice scented with the sweetness of Prose





The Garden is Love



and it is the Heart-space of Dreams



The Garden is a Healer,

transitioning old wounds

and making them into

something beautiful and new



The Garden hears

every Star and every Moon

Believes in the Sun

and prays for Rain



The Garden is a Spirit dancing through time..




Leaving a gift of clues, messages and signs





The Garden is a never-ending song,  

for even in the death of Autumn


and the stillness of Snow..


it's Heart beats.. full of life..

Creating quiet miracles

 Nature's Spirit will follow




The Garden is an Ancient Soul

Igniting it's Spark upon the Earth


Adorning our Hearts with the gift of Wings





The Garden

is breath

is light

is the Creative Essence

that ignites Life in you and I

and changes us forevermore...



Every Garden has a pulse

Every Garden has a Soul

Every Garden is Awake and Alive

...Infinite and Whole.

Does a garden bring you to life;
or do you bring your garden to life?
is it both?
If you are the Heart of the garden ..perhaps the Garden is the soul..

Thankyou for your wonderful compliments! I always photograph my garden on cloudy days or low light times, or early evening when the light is not so bright,the flowers always show up better..and plus I experiment with the different settings on my camera.You can also adjust the contrast on a picture to make it pop.I really just experiment! Fun!

Kiki you have a very interesting and unique way of seeing and describing things. Things you are writing about, I would probably never notice, but when I read them here, I wonder how didnt I notice that...
Beautiful picture of a bird in a lake.
