Garden

This garden

is not imposing

in size or display ,

Yet here –

plants of many colours

thrive –

in harmony

A modest ,unpretentious

patch of land , where

seedlings from desert

endure coldness ,

mountain pines form their cones

in symmetry

Sowing – harvesting

exceeds urban borders ,

calming breezes speak

one language ,

warm pastels of genes

mirror across foliage veins

A forgiving space , where

comfort , solace – abetment

fosters a hope

for sense to belong

Welcoming hands keep

the gate open ,

a seat for the weary – displaced

In this garden nature binds

with human essence ,

peace inspires life

New born dreams rise

gently – toward

transparent strokes of heaven

unscathed
