Shadow Garden

Follow me down through sorrow's gate
Through the twisted garden of my mind
With wicked snares and threatening visions
Where thickets of thorns guard the path
All to sit by my side and hear
The words of my pleading heart
That call for you to save me, dear
From the recesses of my mind
Where all the sorrows grow
Long live my memories there
In the shadow garden of my soul
Where you once tried to let in the sun
So the flowers would resume to growth
And now you rest, your efforts lost
Lie quiet and still forever more
Lovely, lost but I always know
You are the one who will never go
Planted here where shadows grow

Posted by Reverand 2008-01-19 15:58:17 Deep & Prolific It has been a long time since I've read poetry, but it is nice to read a good poem again. I could feel the sense of longing in what was written. I hope to see more of your work. + Report this comment
