Vibrant hues of scarlet and gold
Lilac, sapphire, colors so bold
Whispering tunes of glorious hope
Breathless promises revealing how to cope
Rich varieties of laughing blooms
In their beautiful, magical costumes
Fragrances tempting, like lilac perfume
Sweet as tender roses, even the heirloom
Listening to the silence of a tender bud
There comes a trembling echo, a flood
Stilling the spirit with serenity, tranquility
Abiding on the heart of praise and humility
Breathing in the kisses of lush flowers
Embracing the music of rain showers
Blessings fall all around the lovely garden
Sprinkling the spirit with grace, a pardon
Dreaming of leaves, easy and flowing
With liquid laughter, beauty is growing
Graceful like the stems of a gladiola
Playing on the strings of the soul, a viola
Charming the heart, a murmur of calm
Touching the feelings like an awing psalm
Feeding hope and inspiring wildflower wishes
The Spirit knows God’s grace isn’t superficies

How dim and doomed my mind is
When I try to explain my disorder to own self and others,
Just as much as I hope to tighten up the loose balls
And invite the dead into my home, I can’t.
I can’t do anything much except what I can’t explain to you.
It tells me aggressively like I’ve been deaf since I ever gave in to thinking, to the world
“Stay away from me!” it says, “leave me lonely in my soul for my want,
Incline your poisonous superficies to eliminate me, this is who I am!”
Can’t you tell? My caring and love crucifies me with no patience,
It reminds the crying kid sat underneath the brain protector how anxiety forgets she lives,
Sat there lonely with scars, bleeding eyes and forgets life
How this has become the daily course of the grand part…
I can’t explain to you how I feel nor to me,
My undying memories behold the theme of my confused situation
And all I know is I will be fine trying to be okay.
