In My Garden

Written on 17 April 1990

Today
you walked
into my garden
unannounced

The wind
stopped
at your feet
in veneration

The moon
halted
in its stride
to peep

Venus
skipped
a heartbeat
at your blush

The sun
cursed
itself
for the missed chance

The flowers
delayed
their sleep
in delight

The leaves
trembled
in
boundless joy

Even the birds
did not sing
but listened
to your melody

All the while
I gazed
speechless and dumb
and wondered

Is this
a chance joy
or a harbinger of
the joys to come?
