As I walk around the garden great
Leaving open every gate
My mind is blank, open and true
And the garden tells me what to do
Feed me, weed me
Debug me, hug me
Sit with me under skies so blue
Love me - love me true
I watch the bees dance
Enthralled - in a trance
Sucking and buzzing every flower
Ripples in realities power
The belted bees show me what to forage
As I glide past towers of comfrey and borage
Flowers of dusky purple hues
And the garden tells me what to do
Feed me, weed me
Debug me, hug me
Sit with me under skies so blue
Love me - love me true
Open mind, focus soft, eyes glazed
Walking in a purple haze
Smoke drifts on the gentle breeze
Time slips, realities freeze
Feet in the dirt, mind in the sky
I whisper to the garden, why oh why?
It whispers back, in words so few
And the garden tells me what to do
Feed me, weed me
Debug me, hug me
Sit with me under skies so blue,
Love me - love me true
Garden scents fill my nose
Little beetles tickle my toes
Cats and deer, even the skunks
Trample plants, the little punks
Baby seedlings now so tall
Harvest fruits, come the fall
Garden scents stick like glue
And the garden tells me what to do.
I once was B, but now I'm L
Sitting in the garden, my heart does swell
Life so rich, life so rare
Life filled with things I hold so dear
