Japanese Garden

A place to meditate
A place to be alone 
With your thoughts and feelings
A place to relax
A place to stop 
And smell the roses

I've stepped into a Japanese Garden 
And surrounded myself with new cultural experiences 
To treasure and cherish 
Forever 

A calm place 
Where you feel 
As if you are 
In another world, 
 Another dimension 
And another land

I've stepped into a Japanese Garden 
And surrounded myself with new cultural experiences 
To treasure and cherish 
Forever, and ever and ever
