Mind Gardens (Mono Version)

Once upon a time

There was a garden

On a high hill

Green and blossomin' round against the sea

And there the sun came

And the rain pourin' down

Garden grew

And flourished

And splattered bits of color on the ground

And it took shape

And symmetry

And all of life around

But there came winds

Driven and howling

There came snow

And I feared for the garden

So I built a wall

And I built another

And roofed it over

Thick and strong

And kept it from

The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune

The killing cold could not get in

But when the sun came

And the gentle rain of spring

They could not reach the garden

Behind those walls

It would have died

Safely, securely died

But as I watched

And as I learned

I tore the walls all down

The garden still lives
