A Garden Of Words


We met in a Garden Of Words
From harbored shadows of our lives;
Dreams we'd dreamt alone
Sunbursting into life.

The universe our long lost home
And time a distant memory;
Navigating ancient stars
In fearless trajectory.

Sorrow shining in your eyes
Precious love lost at sea;
More certain than the daily sun:
Forever must you be!

Flowers of confusion grow
From tears of human pain;
Vandals pounding on the gate
Demanding we explain.

City noise invade our space
But none of that is heard
Where cloud dwellers dream
And contented cats purr.

Blessed world awards itself
As sinking hearts fall hardened;
But our place is in the light
That streams into this Garden.


Now I live in a broken dream
Cold and cruel with blame;
Speaking daily gibberish
No one knows my name.

From you I can not
Survive separation;
Is there still a way to
Make reparation.

In fear I ran away
From garden's heaven light;
Twisting in my mind
What is wrong and what is right.
