Don’t cry tears
cry seeds for roses
who found no place in Eden
Don’t grow guns
Fight for the flowers
that bloom in shadows hour
waiting for the sun
Like crawling moss
inside cellars
where wine is stored
from twisted vine
Guard your heart
and mind
Or ivy in attics
where memories are hoard
away from eyes and light
Guard your sight
Tears fall like pellets
scattered shells of bullets
buried in dirt, like seeds
that shoot up into hurt
But if you’re wounded
by life
plant a garden
in every light of your love
Keep your head up high
wait for the sky
to shower you from above

Don’t cry tears
cry seeds for roses
who found no place in Eden
Don’t grow guns
Fight for the flowers
that bloom in shadows hour
waiting for the sun
Like crawling moss
inside cellars
where wine is stored
from twisted vine
Guard your heart
and mind
Or ivy in attics
where memories are hoard
away from eyes and light
Guard your sight
Tears fall like pellets
scattered shells of bullets
buried in dirt, like seeds
that shoot up into hurt
But if you’re wounded
by life
plant a garden
in every light of your love
Keep your head up high
wait for the sky
to shower you from above
