In the Garden (Patreon)

Tiptoe quiet, skies are goldSunlight slipping through the foldEverything I’ve never knownWas waiting down belowShe opened like a blossom doesPressed with time and rain and trustAnd I, a curious little thiefFound honey underneath the leavesDidn't plan to fall that deepBut her roots pulled into meAnd now I taste the garden windBittersweet and warm withinWhere secrets sleep and shadows spinAnd I just breathe her inShe’s sunlight where the dark beginsThe place I go, the place I’ve beenShe bloomed without a warning signHer petals lined with salt and thymeThe deeper in, the more I knewThat every storm had led to youShe moves like something buried lowWhere only wild things may growAnd I just followed, slow and sureTo where the soil was sweet and pureI touched the dirt, I kissed the groundThe world fell silent, spun aroundAnd in that hush, I heard her say“You’re meant to love me this strange way”And now I taste the garden windBittersweet and warm withinWhere secrets sleep and shadows spinAnd I just breathe her inShe’s sunlight where the dark beginsThe place I go, the place I’ve beenShe’s the gardenAnd I, the rain.
