Room
Room
I shall not go astray
My paradise garden awaits
It bares of plenty
Autumn’s breath fills the air
My spirit is young
My soul is calm
I harvest joy
From wherever it comes
A lively rainforest
Of pelican, scarlet macaw and tucson
The willow tree weeps and drowns in its sorrow
The cascading waterfall
Pours sweet honey
A rose perfumes the place
During dreary nights of gloom
When my mind is wild and off tune
Sweet, warm ginger and cinnamon
Makes space and give me room
The moon looks down winks and grins
I get assurance
Cactus pear and aloe
Guard against thieves
Their spiky blades make tongues bleed
And leaves mouthes bitter in deed
