You
Find a seed, a pretty, sweet and simple seed
Plant it in your garden beyond the woods
Water it with your boundless words
Feed it with the warm glow of your attention
Watch it grow and blossom into something greater than you imagined
It’s roots twisting deep to reach what they need
It’s leaves uncurling in a magical dance of exploration
It’s flowers peppering the air with sweet, fragrant kisses of wonder
You
Find another seed, a different seed, a gorgeous seed
And plant it, also, in your garden beyond the woods
A true beauty, redesigning the plot with its exotic grace
It’s roots delve to new depths, avoiding the other, under your skillful training
It’s leaves, so glossy and bright, an amazing compliment to the delicate softness of the other
It’s gorgeous, young flower, luscious and vibrant, with perfume that intoxicates in its superior seduction
You
Watch your creations, excited and delighted, master of this space that is solely yours
You
Admire and adore your craft, reveling in your ability to control these natural wonders
You
Lovingly create these things for more than this… For more than you…
Your garden, beyond the woods cannot keep you
It overwhelms you
It overcomes you
It destroys you
So, You
Abandon the incredible gifts you created
Run to the woods
Dissolve into distance
Return to your heart
Your garden beyond the woods, so perfect in design
Made to keep each plant in isolation…
But, in your absence, the leaves, stems and vines branch out, searching for you
Instead, they find each other
They find another
They find your truth
They find closure
You
Might wither without the gifts of your passion
But they
Will thrive, free and wild, without your mediation
Yes. They
Will live on, in your garden, beyond the woods, and grow stronger and more incredible than you will ever be.
