A garden unknown, unseen
that lives in my dreams
where hope grows
against the light
against the sun and wind
fuelled by a seed
unknown, unseen
where the nectar
is not devoured
by the bees
but grows to sweetness
unknown, unseen
where gardeners arrive
with sharp tools, then smile
they know the strong plants
will render those sterile
by a hidden strength
unknown, unseen
where visitors throng
admire from afar
they know it in their bones
it is not a playfield, but
a door left ajar for
a vision – unknown, unseen
where the bud knows
it will blossom fully
into a flower
with colors and fragrance
unknown, unseen
