My garden



She hugs you with her gentle layers.
And the depth of her goes beyond oceans.
She sees and feels and consoles you in all you go through.
She allows for you to immerse yourself in her.
To dig your hands deep within her healing powers.
To ground you to the Earth through your feet.
Tread on her lightly, for she has a gentle heart and a wild soul.
She is full of beauty and color.
The water she provides; cleanses.
The gentle breezes allow her to dance while the birds bless her with her favorite song.
She is my solace, my place of refuge.
She has seen my sorrow, and I have watered her with my tears.
She grows through my happiness and love.
She provides.
Nourishment for my body, for my heart, my mind, and for my soul.
She will weather storms, heat, cold, and ice for me and will always return.
For all that she provides, she only asks that I care for her, love her.
When I go out to her, I slip into another world.
I am Alice and she is my wonderland.
She......... is my garden.
