The Garden Spell: of Life and Death






The Garden Spell : Of Life and Death

Every Garden carries a Spell
A Spell of Beauty and Poetry
*
Every garden casts a Sparkle in your Heart
and Awakens the Power to  d r e a m
in petals and seeds and walls
Lit with  G r e e n e r y
*
The Garden is a Magician with a Wand of Light
Dazzling the Space with Enchantment and Life



A Garden can cast a spell in your Soul
Awaken you to Explore
Inspire you to Create
Infuse you with the 
Dance of Wisdom only plants could ever Teach




A Garden is like a Whispering Body..
Telling you Secrets of past Ancient Lore
A Garden Spell can Bind you
with the Music of  Memory ,
of New and Lost Loves
*
A Garden can become your Family..
s h i n i n g
with eyes
of Hope




A Garden can create all kinds of Miracles
and hold you to the Shine of Promises
Every Garden is a
S p e l l c a s t e r
Weaving Miracles and Prose Within your Being
Telling you stories you
R e m e m b e r
from another Time and Space
**




Gardens are Magical vessels..
holding you in Place
Gazing into your Spirit ...
telling you to
let go of time
F O R E V E R
*


The Garden will take you Gently and Keep you
in it's Gaze
E T E R N A  L L Y
*
From Sunlight to Moonlight,
You Walk between the Worlds
of the Garden's
V e i l
It has cast a Spell afterall
and you are Living within it's Magical World
of Awe
*





The Eyes of the Garden's Heart
Have Cast their most Potent Spell
I am not afraid 
at all
I Welcome this Bewitching Encounter
May the Garden be with me,
until my Time
to  f a l l
*


And in the Afterworld... 
I will Sing in  F L O W E R S
My Body a Blanket
where Seedlings become NEW
and my Essence Becomes the Green of Shiny Petals and Sunlit Dew
*
The Garden has Cast a Spell
in Life
and in
D e a t h
The Garden has Taken me into
The F o r e v e r World
Where I B L O O M 
and Bloom and Bloom
with Each and Every
NEW
S h i n i n g  
B r e a t h

A perfect post for today. We just came in from a morning's work in the garden, where life is bursting forth. Yesterday, a fox got one of our hens. Life and death, so closely intermingled in a garden.
