There in the garden
Of Light and sun and the rain
Lies Nameless Sorrow

On this day birds shall not sing
To honor that song
Which will never be once sung

The Music of Reeds
Sounds hollow by the dark pond
And trees dare not grow

How lovely would silence be
But it shan't be so

For gardens can never grieve
Mothering roots weep
Under skies of life and death
Morning her bud unblossomed
