Gardens Made of Stone

been save-en pocket change
  to catch a train
  a ride to the world
  of milk an honey

  pockets ran empty
  not un-like
  the lies of hope

  so i cast
  with empty eyes
  upon a garden
  made of stone

  the wishfulness
  of hope
  the hopefulness
  of a wish ?

  so i sit in ponder
  within a garden 
  made of stone
