In The Sanctuary Of My Head
some days I feel
the universe
is mostly harmless
like a snake is only slightly poisonous
my solution
is to plant a secret garden in my mind
so I'll always have a place
to go to
to smell my favorite flowers
simple things
are like balloons
making your life rise
to a spiritual level
where you can defrag
replant your soul
I want my Eden back
and I want to populate it
with all the people I miss
and the animal-friends I've lost
and with those who have yet to be
part of my bliss
all human life needs light
and hope
the best soil to grow in
is filled with the nutrient
called love
and self-love
I'm replanting that garden of my youth
in my mind
Eden's coming back
even if you can't visit it
on the street
it will always exist here
in the sanctuary of my head.
