Garden Poem by yoonoos peerbocus

Garden

Rating: 4.8


How hard is it to be
in an olive garlanded grove
hinging with dove cots, cooing
under a sensual night's cover
where all that seemed becomes real
when awaken that is just me
tries in vain to coax back
my thought
driven by its own thirst,
wanders for wonder beyond starry folds
to the thrall
of as if my eyes' first landscape
where I am and to me!

There is such great depth and so much beauty in this poem! Very thought-provoking! Without our spiritual essence, we are nothing. We might as well be robots. Human extensions of modern technology. Yoonoos, thank you so much for bringing it to my attention. Thoroughly enjoyed it! ! !

Having done so much gardening myself, I see the deep truth in this poem. It makes me remember that I will be dust one day. 'The eternal resurrection is there' as a consolation.

There is something life-changing when one can find the place and time to simply reflect...under the olive tree. Great verse, Yoonoos.

A truly self searching, introspective piece set in metaphorical idiom, a true marvel.

There is a gardener, that's all I know, who is He and where is He, I don't see any other place for Him other than my heart.
