\ni am so happy
\nthat the sprouts have flown away from a garden
\ni had tended so carefully
\naffectionately and with deep
\nfeelings of hope and faith
\nof making it a beautiful garden<\/p>\n

how could have i lived with a garden
\nthat did not respect
\nthe sincerity of weakling, a feeble seed
\nsprouting still
\nsurrounded by more attractive flowers
\nyet having the courage of rising up<\/p>\n

sincerity and honesty
\nare actually just words
\nthey dont guide the pursuit of sky
\nby these sprouts
\nisnt it good that sprouts
\nhave flown away<\/p>\n

how could a gardner live with the guilt of nurturing
\nseeds that he saw as very viable
\nstill thinks so
\nbut then who can assure that
\nmere good manure will make a seed
\n grow into a healthy plant<\/p>\n

so much more is needed
\nbut minimum it needs at this stage is
\nthat gardner is buried in that garden<\/p>\n

abandoned by sprouts
\nopportunistic
\nat heart
\nthough some may may regret that
\nbut it is too late<\/p>\n

once basic trust is broken
\nit is best that gardener dies
\nsprouts must grow
\nthe future belong to them
\nthey may cherish memories of manure
\nor healing drops of dew
\nthey may not
\ndoes it matter<\/p>\n

there are many other nurseries gardener has planted
\nsome of them are growing very well
\nsome may not in future
\nbut at least these nurseries have given to the world
\nsome hopeful stock of
\nseeds, seedlings, aroma and agenda
\nof unfinished dream
\nthose dreams matter
\nfor seeds yet to sprout
\nso what
\nif some garden withered
\npainful it is
\nbut not purposeless
\nfailures are a proof
\nthat gardener meant well
\nso what if he failed to convert every seed into a giant tree
\nunder whose shadows
\nmillion birds will make nest and keep
\nsky full of wings
\nwidely spread
\nhappy wings of pride<\/p>\n
