silence reigning
deep in this garden;
flowers nodding in the wind
beauty descended for treat.
wind whispering in ear
life is for living,
without conflict of sorts.
you overlook the flower
with smooth petals,
engaging in your thoughts,
of yesterday and tomorrow.
many flowers withered
while you are asleep in thoughts;
these smooth moments rollover
as we wake up to reality.
harsh, living in past,
ambitious for tomorrow
vulnerability of present is lost
in searching for elusive happiness
you are preparing to live
in turbulence,
without living for a moment.
