He carefully saunters among the
flowers, his unerring glance spreads
over the slightly bent hyacinth
stem upholding the heavy-bloomed

shining in the gleaming morning dew
and a few bees already buzzing
about the center of fragrant petals,
Paradisiacal eudaemony when just
a little further the joyous voices
of children playing during recess
underscored the beautiful day that was
in the cards and the gardener leaned
over the bent hyacinth stem as if
wanting to straighten it but then,
a smile appeared on his face when
he thought that nature had its ways
and the stem was as beautiful as
ever, bent as it was, after all the aroma
of the flower was of importance,
aroma the gardener’s nose enjoyed
