the gardener and my garden of dreams


bernadette de los santos
11 sept 04


my long journey, at last,
has seized the first step.

as the rains splatter and spray
and the cool breeze breathe
in this place i call haven,
i thank you for letting me live my dreams.

how could you have known
my heart’s longing?

as i watch every new leaf flourish,
i know i am a step closer
to my destiny.

the soft muffled sound of the rustling leaves
whispers your name to me,
and i feel your embrace,
your presence
amidst the green.

I miss you so much, ma…
