My Little Garden

Through the dewy panes
     As my eyes scan through my garden
      Everytime I am spellbound
        My childhood's hideout
           My favourite room beneath blue skies
               Sound of splashing water
                  Coming from the bird bath
                    Clapping of leaves when spring breeze blows
                      Each plant wearing distinct shades of green
                          Music of bumble bees
                            And games of squirrels
                              Frivolous flights of butterflies
                                 Soaring in and out of rims
                                    Sights of stones and rocks
                                        And velvety moss on the walls
                                     With spring in the corners
                                 Buds unfurl meek petals
                              Tiny wildflowers smile amid rose bushes
                       Ladybirds and caterpillars 
                 Make their presence feel
          Saying a silent hello
     Cuckoo and robins perch on mango tree
Just where my garden ends
      Filling music with perfect notes
             In the air no one can ever sing
                My little garden invites me 
                      Every day for a walk
                         To enjoy the riches no castle can ever render
                              Beauty and music mingled to soothe my chaotic mind
                                   You can find me 
                                      Lazing on the caned bench every evening
