Burrow (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

(in answer to Clinton V. du Plessis

Together we did plant many flowers
and all of the lilies, dahlias and geraniums do bloom,
as you do hold our garden and maybe a cosmos in your hands
and where others do drive pass slowly as it does astound them,
it is in your heart and flesh that my love is really sprouting,
where eternal flowers have their space and place of sun,
as in your love your soul, spirit and body is my territory
and others can look at the beauty of our home
where all kinds of trees, bushes, plants and flowers do grow
when in spring that idyllic spot looks like a small Eden
but in your heart is the place where the loveliest flowers do show,
where the flowering time do never elapse for our love,
where God is the labourer of selfless love
and do prune and plant and water in His own mystery.
