once upon a time
in a misty land surrounded
by a gentle and accepting earth
there was a moment of perfection
it was either a smiling dream
or a sighing desire
for it hummed with golden light
and invited company
and on this site
now marked with a tree
it continues offering rest
wholeness and well being

don't stress it needs to be 10 lines, it shouldn't be choppy changed for ~ challenge
there's a mutual feeling
with interesting inteweaving of words to swing out concept between them as "in a misty land surrounded
by a gentle and accepting earth" since one rendition of planet is the people for it...
the purpose is poised as to bed or health options, and maturity to be given a brighter spectrum for recognition.
and the last ties in with the title without attenuation of attention by the neatness of one caretaking trim moving another --
a soft fusing thought of source and focus,
babies are my subject
