Toward my Garden

 

I set out for my dream today

with a handful of song

to lead me through my dark dismay

to tell my right from wrong

 

Tell me, Wise One,

how deep can darkness die?

Can it kill the song

I travel by?

 

I see him in the hills of May

in the pastures of July

he sails gray October's bay

and April sees him fly

 

Ah, my Young One

from darkness you shall rise

to find your song

in your eyes

 

Wisdom, sing but one more truth

pray, is my song for real?

Is it not the winds of youth

that bring me what I feel?

 

Oh, my Young One,

your heart is clean and true,

and the song that you bear

is You

 

 

January 1973
