GARDEN

 

Sometimes we hide

If you ask us where                        We go

It is likely we will tell you

 

In the summer it is garden of hope

It is a garden of blossoms

It is a garden of light

It is a garden of colors

Too many to see

 

It is a garden of mulberries

It is a garden of barefeet

It is a garden of opening

It is a garden of sunlight

It is a garden of concealing

It is a garden

There is no better word for it

 

This garden runs through the alleyways

It scatters the meadows

It grows in the gravel

And perfumes the air that we breathe

 

In the winter it is garden of frozen leaves

It is a garden of icy steps

It is a garden of slumber

It is a garden of snowfall

Too soft to believe

 

It is a garden of vines

It is a garden of leather shoes

It is a garden of increase

It is a garden of cold wind

It is a garden of decrease

It is a garden

There is no better word for it

 

See,

I have fashioned a ball out of

Words

And hung it from a trestle bridge

Over a valley.

 

It is true we are hungry,

It is true we are waiting,

Three stones wrapped in cotton.

Three seeds wrapped in burlap.
