Lost In a Garden of Words
I heard the click and the window did open
Into the garden of full lettered words.
All were filled with various emotions
Causing the strings of my heart to be stirred
Drawn, I crawled into the garden
Into a maze that picked at my soul
Further and further without pardon
I sunk deep into a bottomless hole
Thousands of words filled with wonder
Filled with terror and pity and need
with every letter they tore me asunder
Choking my heart, filling me with weeds
But slowly a trickle of laughter I heard
drifting like tiny life lines from above
Lifting my spirit on the wings of a bird
Home through the window with words of love
