Old Garden Wall






the old garden wall
you built next to the quince tree
still stands strong and tall

each brick speaks your name
each rock so carefully placed
brick and tree now one

whenever I feel
that my heart might break in half
your wall calls my name

  2. To hear one's name, even in grief or distress, is a lovely thing indeed.

  4. Your haiku reminds me of the book "the secret garden".. and just maybe if someone finds the key... one would see the garden and not the wall.

  5. Thank you all for reading my poem. My sorrow is still so fresh. I wonder if I will ever recover.
