A Door in <strong>the</strong> Wall<br />

I have found my very own hiding place<br />

deep <strong>with</strong>in my imagination.<br />

A place far from war and terror,<br />

far from exploding rockets and air raid sirens.<br />

Through a creaking, wooden door,<br />

hidden behind brambles and ivy,<br />

I enter <strong>the</strong> garden of my dreams.<br />

A dancing waterfall sparkling<br />

in shafts of sunlight.<br />

Emerald green grass, soft and velvety.<br />

The myriad of colours in my garden<br />

soo<strong>the</strong> my tear-filled eyes.<br />

Birds swoop and circle in <strong>the</strong> open sky<br />

and I join <strong>the</strong>m in <strong>the</strong>ir freedom.<br />

We can all have an imaginary garden,<br />

a haven to escape to in times of despair.<br />

The door in <strong>the</strong> wall will always be <strong>the</strong>re,<br />

just waiting for us to open it.<br />
