An open gate
calls your name
Wrapped in solitude
listen, be free
Green sings
in myriad hues
The breeze invites
a soft embrace

Looks like a great place to set up my laptop and feel the breeze in my hair – and maybe jot down a poetic word or two. Or better yet, sit with a friend and listen to birdsong. 🙂
