Closer to You

In the garden
All around
There's leaves
There's grass
There's green pea pods
Happy thoughts
They flood right in
The smell of Earth
Brings you to me again
Sitting on a blanket
In the garden, long ago
I watched you
Plant the seeds
I did not want to leave
Back in the garden
I want to see
Are there parts of you and me?
Flowers
Grapes
And rhubarb, too
All these things
Bring me back to you
Soft and sweet
I sink right in
All I want is to see you again
It will never happen
I know this to be true
But being in the garden
Brings me closer to you
