FRAGRANT GARDENS

The flower bends level to my crown

I can see the colors

Petals carry light

Beyond all the others

Electricity, fingertips

I start breathing through my skin

Insubstantial

I think if I taste everything you offer

I’ll find the light again

Salt on my lips and no worry about money, ever more.

Letting everything soften

So I find the light again

Will you light my passage please

Through the alleyways of my heart?

We’re on a train with unpredictable stops and starts.

Our whole life rolls past us when we go

Let me look in your windows

See how the rooms are all laid out

Show me what you know

Maybe you lie bed with the smell of fragrant gardens

Salt on your lips and no worry about money, ever more

Letting everything soften

So you find the light again

Will you light my passage please

Through the alleyways of your heart?

Wildness and outlaw living is a myth

All your protestations fall apart

We are a galaxy of stars emanating peace

When you come through the door I feel a spark

Oh my friend,

I can see the colors

No one here is lost or forsaken

Fragrant gardens growing ever more

Let us lie bed with the smell of fragrant gardens

Salt on our lips and no worry about money, ever more

Letting everything soften

So we find the light again

Salt on our lips and no worry about money, ever more

Letting everything soften

So we find the light again

Will you light my passage please

Through the alleyways of your heart?
