The Gardener of Eden

I am the old dreamer who never sleepsI am timekeeper of the timeless danceI preserve the long rhythms of the earthand fertilize the rounds of desire

In my evergreen arboretumI raise flowering hopes for the worldI plant seeds of perennial affectionand wait for their passionate bloom

Would you welcome that sight if you saw it?Revalue the view you have lost?Could you wake to the innocent morningand follow the risks of your heart?

Every day I grow a dream in my gardenwhere the beds are laid out for loveWhen will you come to embrace itand join in the joy of the dance?
