3. "Could I stay Away?"

Could I Stay Away?

Should I stay away from love's garden?

Could I even if I tried?

Understanding you felt you don’t know me,

came as an unexpected surprise

Knowing our souls touched as one

gave me a sheer force of will to survive …

The garden of the heart and soul

needs a caring gardener’s passionate touch

Suspended in a moment shyly withdrawn and wondering;

Lamenting passing season’s lessons of trust

Tender loving caretakers breathe in every breath knowing

the heart needs a home ...

Was the world spinning around so fast,

I missed the season's fleeting time?

Seasons can change so quickly,

patience did not even notice when or why,

suddenly realizing  you're constantly swimming

alone against the tide ...

A garden of love flourishes from deep within

the essence of the heart of soul

Never afraid of making love,

with the earth beneath our nails

The desires thriving within our passion

are harmonious enraptured dreams left untold ...

Love has a living fostered metamorphosis

You never see the warning signs

Budding spirits blossom as one

through compassionate nurturing,

deeply rooting what naturally

blooms over needed time ...

In the silence of the garden of happiness,

embrace the peace that’s found within

Knowing if I stay here forever…

won’t you listen to my heart's song ?

How will you know?

When you hear my voice calling in the wind?

Will you feel the rhythm of the heartbeat of my soul?

Should I stay away from love's sacred garden?

Could I even if I tried?

Please whisper in the gentle breeze

your heart of gold's reply ~

Speaking softly I sigh to you ...

" You are my home "
