Garden Back To Ground

The sky’s been crying for twelve days straight now

A little denial before it poured out

A little encouragement turned the garden back to ground

And, I got my knees dirty just as I thought I would



It could have been without stain

A noon day without shadow

And, we could have still been clean

Playing in the great open meadow

But, even the greatest plans inevitably fail



Now the red lines streak across our eyes

Proof of the heart we hide

Proof that life still remains inside

If only we could overcome the mountain’s valley



It could have been clearly cut

A path for our feet to follow

And, maybe it should have been enough

But, can love ever conquer sorrow

Or, were we just shooting with plastic guns



I know I gave my heart away

But, doesn’t desperation mean giving up all in order to gain anything at all

And, I know I spoke words

But, words in haste don’t take much thought and take away all the meaning of

And, for that I am sorry

And, as for day thirteen, the sun’s still not shining
