In the garden, there is a flower behind the greenery
Found it there one day while looking through the weeds
And it touched me so with it's simple beauty
That I took a second on my knees
Attending there to it's existence
There behind the palmy fronds
Took a second of my own to pass a moment in it's grace
In a one to one embrace with glory

Spent a moment there
A blessed moment there, turned and happened on
Glanced a glance of wistful wanting
Past the palmy fronds
Past the everpresent embers of the setting sun
In a stranger's passing shadow blinked and it was gone
Like a gift from heaven makes you shiver.
