Poem
I found a garden waiting for me Laid out as my life should be The reality became quite blurred In the garden a flock of birds Showing me what things were for I asked them to fly or show me more All but one took to the air To move one grain here wasn't fair The Toki stood just to one side In perfection nothing to hide It told me of stories from overseas Could you talk of me? I asked it "please"? Your journey here is plain to see I am not real, I live in eternity Please hold my mind for all that be Call my friends to walk and visit me Toki called my friends from everywhere As birds a noisy flock they appeared Footprints again from those that cared Why do they come, to visit and share? The Toki seemed to laugh at my plight Stay, Oh Stay, please don't take flight At this he shook as if laughing so You take your friends where ever you go Then let them see the things I see The peace here and other places that be This garden will focus their minds On the inside that always shines At this the footprints in the sand Beautiful shapes from other lands I was awestruck at the ones I could see Prints left in white sand by you and me We whispered of all the things we knew Then of hurts and fears filling us anew There in the garden it was safe you see There to tell all of the things that be This was a glimpse the Toki said Of eternity and the things we dread Once you have faced all these fears Love is there for the rest of your years Remember that all you have to do In the future to talk, with me or you Is to think of us as free spirits all Just whisper my name no need to call Yenti
