Ah my garden,
My priceless garden-
I breathe in the sight, and I am renewed.
Ah, my flowers,
My fragrant flowers-
The whole garden with their scent is imbued.
Oh, those statues-
So very charming.
What a delight to feast my eyes on them.
Sited with care
In special niches-
Among the jewel tones, each is a gem.
Light breezes breathe
Life into still forms;
The wind chimes share their melodies with grace.
Shining ribbons
Of liquid colour
Gently reflect in pools to calm life's pace.
The verdant leaves,
The cresting colours,
The goldfinch and the em'rald humming birds
Create a peace
And a precious beauty -
My oasis, too tranquil for mere words.
