From the Garden of My Heart
The journey began from the blue hills afar on the river called youth,
in the rolling vale it meandered in all directions from north to south.
In the flow of ardor we floated holding each other’s hands so firmly
in the torrent of time and across the wastelands, but never felt lonely.
Now at the dreamy dawns when in the sky we see the sunburst hue,
unfaded threads of love design in our hearts the colored tapestry new.
The river is flowing in sluggish pace toward the destined serene sea,
the lattice of sunset in the horizon our entwined vision waits to see.
We bloomed our love in grace and elegance in the valley of flower,
the patina of radiant blossoms lasts to this day in the twilight hour.
I gave you a bouquet of fervent flower from the garden of my heart,
it’s still unwithered after forty seven years, you’ll find before I depart.
