Pastel colours and sweetness
Modest flower of cottage gardens
Encircled with soft green tendrils.
*
Delicate leaves rustle in the breeze
The flowers bow to the heavenly dance
And their fragrance ascends
Towards the zenith
Flowing on the updrift
Until they reach the horizon.
*
There a girl lifts her head.
She drops her hands
To dream of the time
When she left
An old-fashioned garden
