I think it is a beautiful poem Diana- The concept of comparing humanity and a garden- I love the thought!

As for feedback, I found the meter throws me off just a bit, since there isn't consistency throughout the lines- when reading it aloud, I had to re-read it several times, yet it didn't quite match up.
Also, with the line, the "water needs to flow freely" the emphasis when speaking the line also feels a bit off.. but if you reversed it and said "freely flow"- it rolls off the tongue a bit better.

Keep writing Diana! Poetry is from the heart smile
