"There's something about the land of Avalon
which makes it slightly shimmer, as if the subtle
energies and perceptions of the inner worlds or
the imagination permeate the physical fabric of
this place and the life that goes on here."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dare we seek this legendary Island of Apples
of immortal beings that produces all things of
itself? Happy and blessed in the abundance
of the fruits where the mysterious ending of
King Arthur took place
Yet...to fear not and stimulate our own inner
peace with the gentleness in a mystical
underground community of meditation and
escape to Gandalf's Garden?

Yes, always dare to seek the mystical and unknown. One can live in Avalon in peace and security... as your well penned poem shows. Delightful fantasy! When do we start the journey? Joy L. Hale
Avalon is a mystical place where all is calm and peaceful. No wars. No arguments. No disagreements. Sounds delightful in theory, don't know how it would work out in real time. Had to look up Island of Apples to realize it is still Avalon. Gandalf's Garden is one I never heard of. You had your serious mystical cap on for this one Vivian.
