The Little Garden
I sit alone
On the ground
Some flowers are dead to the bone
Around the entrance of a secret place.
That's why I come in here
To be alone and regain patience
Because right inside
The dead flower disguise
Is the little garden.
Spring flowwers bloom
In late winter, here.
Birds talk
And squirrels sing
And there's not a pinch of evil or mean.
And that's why
I come alone
To the little garden.
Chipmunks talk
with an accent
to the outside birds
"i beeg your parteen" because the birds don't understand.
they have yet to find a suprise
in the garden where time stands still
and peace and serinity meet.
this place could bring
such joy to the world
with the gardens "no saddness, no anger, no hunger, no suffering" policy.
this can show
who you really are
inside AND out.
this place- a mystic home- drifts silently in time.
