In a garden now,
I am a rock reflecting
in bright sunlight
emitting glints from my rough
...
The roots of her gardening fervour are
set in her genes. They sprout and grow
branches that spread in her psyche.
...
In the autumn of my existence
I change lanes and exit from the highway
onto a less busy side road.
...
You enter my mind
without notice, without knocking.
I let you stay again and again.
...
From the silence
of my aloneness
the birth of dreams.
I entertain them and plan
...
A Rock Reflecting
In a garden now,
I am a rock reflecting
in bright sunlight
emitting glints from my rough
and smooth areas alike.
For centuries, my home
was in the bowels of a mountain.
Though I lived in darkness,
warmth from the sun reached me.
Melting snow and rain
gradually eroded the soil
that enclosed and upheld me.
One fall day, I was dislodged
from my mountain home. I bounced
and rolled down the mountainside,
then splashed into a river. A gardener
took me out and brought me here.
Despite my adventures
my strength and firmness
have not diminished.
