A rose has left my garden
Joseph Berolo 1934 (Bogotá)
}
I dreamt of a garden blossoming in a desert;
of bells ringing in the modest tower of a church, above a pristine land of births and joy galore,
somewhere in the East beyond my lore.
I dreamt of the busiest of all beehives,
defiant little bees building honeycombs,
catching butterflies hanging from the sky— precocious quest of infantile abandonment.
In sadness lost, I saw depart impromptu
from the happy cluster of my dreams,
a silent bee wrapped in sighs and farewells.
Her fate unknown but seeming thorny,
unknown dimension my soul is target
until my honeybee returns in hurry.
