A Secret Garden's Gardener Speaks
Past this ancient gate:
such flowers you've never seen,
trees you've dreamed to climb
mythic sculptures posed
eternal before fountains
awash with sunlight
topiary beasts
frolic in this labyrinth
where all's blithely lost
hues beyond rainbows
fragrances beyond sweetness
blossoms beyond time
even wind sings here
with exotic birds and chimes:
music not yet known
enter, bloom again,
relive and rejuvenate
in this endless spring!
