down in the garden
of this i'm certain
spirits are guarding hidden treasure
follow the pathway with bamboo railings
stones guide your footsteps

in the garden
i am waiting
honeybees
drift in the trees
ivy covers
secret doorways
private windows
illuminate
silent
blossom
reveals
magic
fragrant
wonder
bows
in the wind

where will my memory take me

youth slips away
time will decay
but not here
bury me beneath the palm tree

celebrating
solitary
rites of spring
sweet
oasis
contains
wayward girl
growing closer
roots spread deeper
leaves to reach the sunlight
lost in evergreen
earthbound daydream
years are passing
things are changing

where will my memories take me take me
what adventures await me await me

youth slips away
time will decay
but not here
bury me beneath the palm tree

down in the garden
of this i'm certain
spirits are guarding
hidden treasure
follow the pathway
will bamboo railing
stones guide your footsteps
roses are climbing to the ceiling
passage to the orchard
fruits sweet with sunshine
