“A Day in a Garden”©️ May 28, 2026
Take me to the garden
Please, May I go to the garden 
I want to go to the garden 
to breathe 
to escape 
To live
to dance 
around and around
To stand still in peace 
As life makes me dizzy 
To adore the bees and the butterflies 
To feel my heartbeat rise
To watch the sunflowers climb
towards the sun, I too stand tall
with my face to the light 
Eyes closed, basking in delight
Let me lay amongst the grass 
and the wildflower fields 
Let me treasure the delicacy 
Of the botanical hills
Laying amongst towers of stems
and mass hues 
Tenderness brushing my face
Smiles anew
Take me to the garden
Where the quiet reigns once more
I want to go to the garden 
To greet memories 
I implore
deep down each day
Lead me to the garden
May I frolic, May I sway
To internal melodies
May I embrace the breeze
and capture the moments
Smell the honeysuckles
Breathe in breathe in 
Breathe out 
Let me gravitate towards euphoria
While walking through the garden
My feet connected to roots of love
I am one 
I belong here 
Close the gate 
I never want to leave
Thoughts of leaving brings me sorrow
Thoughts of my return brings me joy
Gathering fallen petals as I descend 
Never taking a life away from home
I will not look back
As I look forward to reuniting 
Until next time, my love
Upon request 
“Take me to the Garden”
