Garden Path Poem by Raj Arumugam

Garden Path

Rating: 5.0


Sometimes the path led
to solitude and silence
to a gentle peace
that followed one home
and presided over one's sleep


Today, these many days,
the path leads one into one's own sorrows
Into one's own darkness

There is no space
There is no generosity in the garden
Its menacing branches and leaves
close in and suffocate
and whisper curses of desolation
