Sunlight sparkling in tree canopy
Back stretched on the grass
Mind on a book newly opened
And heart on fire in our chest

Make these days last forever
Never a worry to be had
Flowers and leaves pressed together
A notebook of memory in our hand

Sip tea (or something stronger)
Relax with cheese and wine
Fill our soul and body’s hunger
Contented, in our mind

Find our little nook
For love and life to bloom
Find our space and garden
Beneath the sun and moon

Slow down around the fast world
Let the pain pass us by
Come back to peace and comfort
For a time, ‘til we die

Wake
           Dress
    Move
               Drive

                  Feel the world fly on by

                                                          Sea­rching
                                                    Thinki­ng
                                                              ­ Feeling
                                             Crying

Allow the road to break your mind
    
                              Forgive
                       Repent
                                       Pacify
                                 Contend
                      
                         Find your way back home again

Keys
                Drop
                                ­  Rest
                                                    Sleep
­
             When your world is broken
      Find the pieces, find your peace
   Stitch together your tired heart
And find your way to sleep

Exploring a maze in the fog
Unpredictable turns,
Dead ends creep up with no notice.
A larger opening, more peaceful;
Some unknown garden waits ahead.

A place to sit and for a time
Find peace among the plants.
Leave something, gain more.

Eventually some urge forces
The traveler along their journey.
Ever older, ever forward
Winding toward some
Other unknown garden.
