in the Garden . . .

in the garden . . .

i come to the Garden once again

bearing a song and a smile

let us sit on the banks of the babbling brook

together and listen to life’s silence a while

i have found another light within

that has blinded me of the world’s way

i have come to discover a truth

that each moment starts my new day

for the joy i embrace can not be contained

for i have failed again in my trials

to contain that which is bigger than me

that is the reason for my smiles

the children are playing with out a care

eating the fruits of life’s vine

all that we have, we have not

and all that i have is thine

so i gratefully acknowledge a new dawn

that continually arises from deep within

every time i see a dark night

there the sun arises again

so come to the garden and pick some fruit

none is forbidden in the garden of love

for all is of the vine of life

so it be here as within and above

in the garden . . .
