I took a walk through your gardens

I listened to the hollow breeze that takes the branches

And pushes the leaves up, and up

I tasted the fruit so sweet to my lips

Like childhood

I took a walk through your gardens

And began to question fate

How lives are entwined

Like the roots of the trees

And the flowers that bloom

How the bees bring the honey

So golden like the sun

And sweet like rain

I took a walk through your gardens

And saw life through your eyes

How bridges are meant to be crossed

As long as the foundation is strong

Beneath feet like stone

I took a walk through your gardens

And heard the birds sing

For the first time in ages

A melody that felt like home

And awakened the heart within

I was reminded of you

And your melancholy glare

How caged you are

So far below
