I've been waiting near the gates
All the while, searching for the key
To unlock the meaning of life.
Planting seeds, but getting
No fruit bearing tree.

Peering through the gates
Waiting for my chance
I've heard the feeling is blinding
Man becomes hypnotized
Stuck in a trance.

No sense of what has come and gone.
As you look into the future
Sitting on this arid ground.
As I discovered an exuberant creature
My heart began to pound.

Have you come to take me
Through the garden of
Unknown sensations
And unfamiliar relations?

She grasped my hand
And I tasted the flavor of life
Bittersweet the sensation
The exhilaration of tasting fear
For the very first time.
