There's a Garden

Sometimes when I'm falling
I reach for weightless things
- Breaths of air -
- Good fortune -
- Enough time -

But inside me there's a garden
Where I plant artificial things
Spring on ornamental display
When winter is falling

Sometimes I imagine
Snowflakes on my tongue
Waltzing in a snow ballet
As they sail for freedom

Oh, inside me there's a garden
Outside I'm a skeleton of spring
"Come to life my frozen sway
And let's go dancing!"

Sometimes I will capture
And bottle spans of time
Then I'll release in technicolor joy
What I have held inside

Oh, inside me there's a garden
Where summer rests her wings
And hours of stillness lay
In the bed of my garden
