Garden Poem by Ratan Ghosh

Where the clouds float high in the sky,

Constantly trying to touch the hill

Waves from the sea washing the shoreline

Not far from there, is where my garden

A heaven on earth.



Did I  get inspiration from the cottage garden

Where you grew up as a little girl

Who  used to move around the flowers like a butterfly

Looking through the corners of her eyes

If I was paying attention to my little angel.



The beautiful garden with Dahlias, Marigold and Ginias

We used to play together hide and seek

Alas one day you hid yourself perfectly

Never to be found for years and years,

But you stayed in my heart all day and night.



Now we found each other, I know my garden

Need to blossom with flowers

Before we can dance together.

May be just holding hands and looking at the flowers

We can find our love forever.
