There is something mystic between nature, God and the human being that becomes the conduit for this wonderful transaction that passes between them. This is beautifully written my friend, I love your fre verse, although it's good to use a smattering of rhyme, metaphor and alliteration. Beautifully written, blessings Roy

I adore how you personify the plants around the garden and use these small flashes of imagery to tell a tale of life and loss, glory and (yes) entropy. There's something wise and timeless about this, and I love it.

One tiny spag (unless it's intentional, being poetry):

'some quantum slight-of-hand' - I believe 'slight' should be 'sleight'
