I used to be a beautiful garden
I used to be a beautiful garden, with flowers of all colors and kinds. I wasn’t cautious with my precious flowers, fallen ill or freely given, few were left behind. Now I have scant flowers to boast, and certainly none to spare. Though they’re few, I comfort myself, by guarding them closely all hours I dare. Only to find my flowers die in suffocation and I may be altogether too late; For, while a garden can grow again from seeds, I can only sow from that which I create. 4.1.25
