In the Garden of Love
A secret garden, lay hidden through the years, once entering through the arch, pushing the brambling bushes aside- it would seem that you were once here. Thousands of years before, in just a moment of time, it seems like eternity has passed and time stands still. Somewhere an unknown bird, seems to be calling your name and you follow along- with the bird’ s cheerful twittering. Following and full of longing, as if thousands of years before, with the same brilliant smile, suddenly you stop in surprise, as you seem to hear, all of the colourful flowers- calling you back once more. It must have been a time, for slow strolling, hand in hand, through the moonlight, when love was new.
The wind blows perfume to you, making your head spin, memories of a lifetime of love. Fond memories that bring smiles, holding up your hand, against the sun.
Golden rays come spilling through, golden rays of love and hope and as you twirl about- it’ s as if you’ ve stepped back a thousand years.
To a time when love was so real, here in the garden of love, you long to stray once more and as you quietly close the garden door, a silvery tear falls and you know that when, summer comes to this garden again, you’ ll return once more – perhaps with a love so true.
