Alone, I walk in silent footsteps atop fragrant thyme,
away from the din of humanity.
Here, I am safe and calm, in this tranquil paradise
amidst the lilies, and the daisies, and the lilacs, and the marigolds.
I wait for them to arrive.
The hummingbirds and wrens. The fireflies
and toads. The ants and the honeybees. And of course, the butterflies.
In my sanctuary, my soul roams freely.
I am joyful and at peace
in my garden.
