In the Night Garden
On the calm, quiet sleepy sea, there lies a boat
Among the horizon.
The night sky is lit up by the crater filled harvest moon.
Each star twinkles awake
Like an eye opening to a fresh morning sun.
The calm waters carry the boat downstream,
Over smooth hills and timid waves,
Closer to the line that separates sea from sky.
Each star, now fully awake
Blooms open into a white lily,
Welcoming the boat in a plethora of scents.
The boat soars through the sea of white,
A clearing forms into a field of green.
The lilies are replaced with green grasses, thick red woods
And various species of flowers.
The boat has landed safely to paradise.
