Technical ideas are welcomed, as well as your interpretation of the meaning of the poem.



The garden, sporadically tended,
Unvisited...latent.
Awaiting a gardener, or spring,
Or fire to end the untenable waiting.

A kind conflagration,
Devour…consume.
Blackened bliss, peace: the grand devastation,
Inferno’s sweet total embrace!

An end to the waiting,
Interminable...Aching.
Flame’s avid attentions, agony blazing,
Preferred to a gardener’s patent neglect.

The garden, constrained by the season,
Remembers...imagines.
Strong hands that nurture…delving, invading
Dormancy coaxed into rapturous bloom.

Suspended potential,
Reviving...awakened.
A step through the gate, a welcomed trespasser,
The heart of a garden – the gardener – comes!!
