The Garden

Can I be a flower
In your botanical garden?
Will you visit me
And talk to me?
Will you whisper
That you believe in me?
Will you smile
When I bloom?
Will you tremble
When you touch my petals?
Will you come to me
When you are lonely?
Will you covet me
From Winter?
Will you shade me
When I am weak?

And if you are ever alone
And your heart is empty
Even if you had once
Forgotten me...

Even if I am fragile
And withering away...
Even if you must
Cut me from my roots,
Leaving us, merely moments
Together...

Will you carry me Home
With you?
Oh, my Love...

Will you carry me Home?
