This shall be my ground
crossing to the other side
has never been in my mind
to nothing and to none shall I be allied
but to that little and simple I hold
no, I won't budge nor compromise
here in my hidden
and faraway garden
I plant the flowers I love
the food I require
dawn is ever a friend
the day witnesses my honest sweat
the evening counts my steps
as home I return--there's more
I could have done but for now
it's quite enough
to the other side
I won't cross
here
is the very centre
of my world
my heartbeat
my reason for living
and happily I'll die
