Analysis of In the Garden
Stalks gently swaying
flower petals unfolding,
birds flocking,
Nature-- in the circle of harmony,
redirection my thought toward
the grand and unifying design of God.
In the garden of secret longings
no desire is too small,
for He who searches the heart
knows and fulfills them all.
