Garden of Life
The Supreme One detached the sky and the earth,
Split the Sun and moon,created stars.
The creator created a creature,
to tender and nurture the creatures he created
Flowers in the garden, life in the garden
Flower wither,flower blossom
The sole of each life
Water watered the flower garden
The soul in the soil, sprout radiant
The length and quality reside in him
Some thorns, some roses and daffodils
Rose felt love and spread same
Torn was bitter, so he spread hatred
The vine dresser pluck out at will
Read the rest of the poem Show less
Some at dawn, Other at dusk
Time and season happens to them all
Watch the flower flaunt in the garden.
Flower of life, soon food for another.
