Your Garden

Who would have known, that such beautiful flowers, could grow from a place darkness? Yet these flowers sprouted out of your pain and suffering. I walk breathlessly through your garden, inhaling the heady aroma. I listen to words spoken, feeling the gentle touch tickle my ears. When I see the color of your dreams, my heart celebrates your magnificence. My rejuvinated spirit rises with your scent, Still I am securely tethered by your roots. You cradle me in delicate petals, giving security to my soul. I lay down upon your soil, listening to your flowers whispering. Your moisture, soaks into my skin. Your essence lives within my pores. There is a rhythm, for you are organic, ever changing, subtle and bold. You are both serene and demanding! I am constantly surprised, as you transform before my eyes. You are my oasis of softness. You are my place of comfort and renewal. The rebirth of my joy, a safe haven beyond life's storms. Yours is a magical Garden, blooming in all seasons. I will tend to your garden, removing the weeds, watering and nurturing your seeds. Let me luxuriate in your soil, for I long to be your source of light. Let me filter through your atmosphere. For should I live a million years Not once would I ever wish, to leave your garden. Dedicated to my Sweetie
