Wild Garden

Unpicked flowers bloom in a wild garden

One sky overlaps another

Yet why is it that your eyes darken

Under the shade of bright sunshine

We wait for life to happen

While life is happening

All around this garden of ashen

Expectations and lively dreams

Give me your hand, will you?

We shall walk beyond ourselves

In wild forests wrapped in dew

Let’s walk beyond the casualties of the mind

To you and me, this all seems fair

Fire ranging from somewhere

Hearts aching to despair

You walk ahead, I walk behind

We run away like cowards

Fleeing towns and cities

It is a dream tailored

To fit our dreams

We go beyond and ahead

Into the wild garden

With insects with many heads

With flowers that smell poison

Let’s loose ourselves to become lost

Oh let it be just unkempt danger

Guiding our path henceforth

Let time waste itself, to all I care

Tangled leaves, bright flowers

Roots of trees rising

To the height of towers

Smoke and dew, growing and dying

Love, the smell of your hair

The touch of your eyes

Don’t kiss me goodbye

We have a garden to visit
