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
