Silent Music.
The tune of water pouring in porcelain
feeds ready stalks
while dead leaves cut and discarded
relieve crowded stems to
settle chrysanthemums for regaling
by scent any tense mood.
An armful of garden\'s floral offerings
petal themselves
gently into fresh wet nutrition
and within a few moments of gazing
stress on faces improves.
Flora the mystical Goddess refines
nature\'s singing
so that a flower\'s silent music
may be felt by those who gratefully
hear and perception pursue.
