Garden Of Life | Tosin Olotu

The Supreme One detached the sky and the earth,
Split the Sun and moon, create stars.
The creator created a creature,
to tender and nurture the creatures he created

Flowers in the garden, life in the garden
Flower wither, flower blossom
The sole of each life
Water watered the flower garden
The soul in the soil, sprout radiant
The length and quality reside in him
Some thorns, some roses and daffodils
Rose felt love and spread same
Torn was bitter, so he spread hatred

The vine dresser pluck out at will
Some at dawn, Other at dusk
Time and season happens to them all
Watch the flower flaunt in the garden.
Flower of life, soon food for another.

Poet's note: Garden of life is a poem about the creator and the created, human is represented as flower while God is the gardener in the garden, he prunes and waters the flowers in the garden.
