To garland you in warm welcome, <br />I decide to pluck flowers from the garden; <br />The garden vacant this morn; <br /> <br />The roses in the garden <br />As if in reply to <br />The blowing winds; <br />Wisely nod their heads.. <br /> <br />The long stalked lilies <br />Majestically sway... <br />Beside the smiling marigold <br /> <br />Musing <br />The slant sun on back warm <br />Which flowers to pluck? <br /> <br />The passion red roses yonder <br />Or the cupped gentle white lilies? <br />Weighing the thought in mind <br />I walk in a circle... <br /> <br /> <br />Smiling at the twittering sparrows <br />I retrace my steps <br />A garland of aromatic white lilies <br />To make ready <br />For the evening... <br />________________________________________<br /><br />malini kadir<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/garlanding-you/
