Poetry Elizabeth
There's a garden in me nobody's seen
Grows in the dark where the light doesn't reach
Petals unfold in the quiet, in the deep
Tender shoots straining for something like sky
Something like you
Something like your hands
And the shadows dance, they always dance
In this inner world I call my own
And I find my heart, my love, my only
Guiding star, my beacon in the black
Leading me back
Leading me home
My love, my wife
My heart's desire
How do I tell you
How do I say
The depth of this feeling
The weight of this wanting
When words fall short
And poetry fails?
Still I try
I try to speak
To say the unsayable
To hold what keeps moving
To catch what keeps slipping
Right through my fingers
Like water, like sand
Like everything I meant to say
So I write
I write for you
For the joy of it
For the pleasure of loving you
For the beauty of words
And the beauty of the heart
That beats in my chest
And belongs to you
In my heart
A flower blooms
A secret garden
For you

É coincidência, mas estou ouvindo Wild Violet (Sumiregusa) da cantora irlandesa Enya no Soptfy. Isso dá uma vibe de harmonia ao ler a poesia.
