Today I passed your garden gate,
It rattled to and fro.
I don't remember it this way,
The gate I used to know.
Today I touched your garden gate,
The crumbling wood and rust.
How could I replace them now,
Its pieces turned to dust?
Today I breached your garden gate
As I had done before.
I wondered if you might be there,
Tilling earth once more.
Today I closed your garden gate
Behind me once again.
I walked along your garden path
The way I did back then.
Today beyond your garden gate
Where I shall wait for now;
They say you won't, but I just know,
You must return somehow.
Today beyond your garden gate
Where I've shed many tears;
They all expect to see me there,
The place I've come for years.
Today beyond your garden gate
I felt you there somehow.
Twas then I came, at last to peace.
A place unknown till now.
For just beyond your garden gate
My destiny was cast.
A place from where no man returns.
I found you there at last.
great work as always... it amazing how we keep going back to that one person/ thing were our hearts find peace. beautiful!
Today beyond, puriri tree Bluebird fluttered on by I wondered if she'd land on me My precious one from sky... Again Wolfey.. you sing song well with this one... t'all that is missing really is the white picket fence... another stanza perhaps? ? ?
For just beyond your garden gate My destiny was cast. A place from where no man returns. I found you there at last. ____________________________ I truly love to read and re read your ending your lines shows a heart expecting to be reconciled to who ever who you wanted to be with and the joy of finding and waiting to be embraced at last wish i can write like this of this kind, Wolfey but my mind is only limited to write words so easy but rest assured, i will be here for you, and read you the inner thoughts you shared so gentle, wise and true. Lovely write, Wolfey, , again, ..a pleasure always and always to read. take care of you, Hugs and God bless, Meggie
