I read the synopsis of the "Garden Of Words", so I could fully appreciate your poem. It was a very touching story of how two people found and helped each other only to be separated by a societal judgment. The garden was a place of natural beauty where words weren't required to exchange a sense of connectedness They could be themselves without labels of ages or differences. In the real world, saying what you feel and mean is difficult. Because of this sometimes people separate and love is lost. Your poem was beautiful and I can see why you loved this anime. But the way the story ended gave me a sense of hope that when the boy grows older and more successful, he will find his Garden of Words love again. Thank-you for sharing this poignant story! ......Cabbagepatch
