If you ask the old man
he will kindly give you
plenty of his time
deliver a sermon or two on the hill
about the botanical plant names
in both Latin and Maori.
He sits on the church pew
preaches to the young
how bees make honey
amongst the
irreplaceable
stain glass
colours of flowers.
The garden is his Cathedral
the children his flock
the blackbird sings
to his psalms.
Avie..
