Garden of the King

Herein among the furrowed rows

sun ripened cucumbers and leek

twine the grape upon their stakes

tender shoots of produce grow replete

 

Where honeysuckle alongside jasmine

with tendrils climb the rocken wall

rainbow pigments a mosaic

like earthen shades within the fall

 

Fair beauty ministers the grounds

drifts perfume of plumaria and rose

wafts lavendar with scents of cardemom 

with limestone pathways for barefoot toes

 

Here garlands do adorn the gates

though there be no need for walls

with granite stairs her entries are

alabaster benches for setting calls

 

Marble waterfalls and fountains

grace the garden of all delight

where jasper pillars support the arches

and fires light a collonade at night

 

Here the courtyard is cultivated

to entertain the compnay of Kings

but its fillagree of crowning beauty

is what the humble gardener brings

 

So like that blooming garden

your fragile grace has captured me

so captivated and entranced

my heart be taken to slavery

 

Now the gentle breezes coast

there is shelter from all storm

where pools reflect a light so clear

to birth a personality new born

 

To turn its soil with planted seeds

care to tend upon the fertile crop

whose cornucopia in depth does please

and treasured views will never stop

 

One Archetech this courtyard built

next to the castle temple grand

spans the torrent river valley

where the trees of life do stand

 

This is the garden of Gods healing

here the taught do love its sight

where tender hearts can bloom and grow

nothing dangerous here to fight

 

Lay hold upon the real life

for far better things for you are planned

but only Jesus can lead you through

the final weeding of his land
