Art and Garden

Come!
 just listen.
We know a way from your scene to the Unseen.
You've lived too long in that gloomy house.
This path leads to a garden that will lift you right
out of yourself.
The gardener is an old friend, the cypress and
jasmine too.
Every day we come and gather a hundred blossoms
here to scatter among you.
Don't worry, there are no hidden motives,
just too much love blooming to keep
for ourselves.
These words are a fragrance escaping
from this garden.
See how the world is softened by their sweetness.
hear them whisper,
Come1 Come! It really is like this!
When we first caught the scent it
swept us away, then gave us
greatness.
And even if we are nothing more than
servants of love now, take care!
Like love, we wait in ambush.
