my feelings are a garden
my heart is a blossom
sunlight shines through my thin skin
on my delicate petals
my hands are a canary yellow
daffodils in a sea of green
leaves cover the roots of my life
so that you can only see the beautiful flower
gazing into a new future
on a hill overlooking
the river of the past
a little wooden fence surrounds the garden
protecting the bulbs and blooms
from the world
my soul is a gate
locking in the moisture of love
my feelings are a garden
that I'm growing for you.
