THE GARDEN
hese are the flowers
Which bloom for thee
In a secret place
Twixt mind and soul
In a garden kept by 
Me.
The laughter blooms--
The soft white petals
Of our tears--
The starry
Vivid blossoms of
Our ecstasy--
And giddy here
The reeling stems
All fashioned out from 
Heady wines
And in the quiet place 
Where none may view
The timid leaves 
Of secrets kept--
Ah, yes--
Each moment finds
Its counter here
Where air is sweet
And sped along
The purer
For the fragrance of 
Our dreams.
These are the flowers
Which bloom for thee
In a secret place
Twixt mind and soul
In a garden
Kept
By me.
