Goddess in a Garden
by Tim Kavi
Goddess in a Garden
there she sits!
amidst the plantings
and the nurtured young
the beautiful flowers
and the growing sustenance
that the world needs
for longevity and peace
She stands majestic
glorious Kwan Yin
sitting upon a lotus
I know I saw her there
adorned with green leaves
cushioned by soft earth
tilled and touched by love
by gardener hands complete
there she lies!
every woman in the world
a goddess in a garden.
