My magical garden
with mystical seed
my promise of zen
in my moment of need

the earth feels so squishy
so cold on the toes!
and sweet smelling lilacs
a-waft in my nose!

i dance with the gnomes
full of earthen delight
we sow in the daytime
and drink mead at night!

and soon they all sprout
red tomatoes and such
the gifts of the goddess
i thank her so much!

*****

the mighty wind whistles
a chill down my spine
it whisks me away
to the sky so divine!

the clouds are so puffy
so orangeish and pink
i sip from the raindrops
a most mystical drink

and soon i sprout wings
so flappy and wide
i fly over green valleys
the ultimate ride

but lo the wind quiets
and a landing is near
i set off my signals
and try hard to steer

****
but i find myself straying
and i land near a fire
the flames are all dancing
the heat of desire

the salamanders surf
on the crest of the flame
and ask me to join
in a musical game

we sing of the burning
of longing for the past
we sing for a future
ignited at last!

the future i see
through the breaks in the flames
is all full of water
a wave stakes its claim

****
and upon the mighty ocean
i'm tussled and tossed
to find underwater
the many things i have lost

the undines are present
to usher me down
beneath the blue depths
they show me around

we swim and we scurry
beneath all the blue
see people and places
and yes...even you!

we give you a washing
and we take you to shore
we give you our best breath
alive once more!

****
and i look at you
and you look at me
and i think to myself
well how can this be?

my spirit once lost
my spririt once wise
now stands here before me
my own very eyes!

i thought you were gone
and not coming back
but you were here all along
just patience i lack

we embrace on the beach
and play in the sand
build castles so golden
in spiritual hand

****
and i sit here and smile
and think on my day
the elements in place
are never far away!

and i light my white candle
to the goddess at night
and i thank her for wisdom
and i thank her for light

and i sing for all others
who once lost their way
their pathways have weeds now
but faith lights the day

and at at night time the goddess
in her bright golden gown
will be with you always
to show you around!
