I'd say this minimalist style suits you quite well, Ron. The zen-like feel to this poem effectively reflects the true nature of existence. I especially like the cyclical transformation and the way it moves from birth, life, suffering, death and re-birth. Oh, to be a flower in your garden.

Yes, this is an excellent write with a great story. And yes, it is your garden but not alone. It is everyone's garden for we should all tend to living and things and help bring them to fruition. Again well done.
