A long time from the creation
but awhile ago, we, the two of us
walked for a moment
in the garden, falling under the spell
of the thousands of shades of green
the languid, humid, balmy air
rainforest sucked us inward
into the green, damp depths
walking an old dirt path,
obscured at times,
by the washouts, the foliage
the rich humus smell
the call of exotic birds
lost in the stillness, the quietude
of the garden, all around us
