No, not secret, but certainly secluded,
the Walled Garden offers shelter
from any west wind
seeking to kick up a fuss or mess
with the warmth offered by April sun
So, not secret for sure,
but lesser known to many
and a favourite for those seeking
a semblance of solitude
on a Saturday in Ealing
Just me and a sunning smoker,
a mother pausing with her pampered pram
and then two teens happy in the warmth
under the scent of sprays of Chinese Wisteria
There’s not long now,
but I’ve still time to rest
in the walled off quiet
