 Our Promenade Into The Garden by Raven Mcgraw Here I am again And where are you going my pretty one? I never turn back when you are blowing by me Because I know everything is disappearing behind our new planting Into a vortex under the grass I stare As your form fades down a curving memory I can see you outside smiling from our soil Colored the Sunday summer color of blood Wearing a dress made of sunflowers Your face travels to me long after you have looked away And you smile as I enter a different daydream You are a blossom like child to me And a lover when I see you grown up A wife singing sweetly while tending the garden While I am out on patrol When I come home to greet you Your laughing while running into my arms You are ready for a harvest of one Because you are all anyone I've ever known ever longed to see grown and I am waiting for you to pick Music will start to play as we are leaning into the fence as we kiss The gate swings freely with our knowing touch And we are dancing as petals are falling from the sky As storm clouds move everything that's not nailed down away with it And I will worry about you getting blown away from me It was a sour note that made us look up at the sky just then And wonder just whom it was controlling the props That sent lightning this way that distorted our perception So we could no longer remember our lines And our rhythm was destroyed before we finished Under a harvest moon our promenade into the garden
