" Gardens of the Soul."

Our hearts are like gardens
and within them things are
going to grow
 
Some produce thorns and
others a beautiful rose
And the direction of the 
desire within that will
give a yield, no man knows
 
But we all like gardeners, 
are to tend to our precious
souls knowing that they are
like the fertile soil
 
And that whatever nutrients
or contaminants we put
therein will contribute to
what we give to the world
 
For our lives are like living
gardens
Displays of beauty or
darkness
 
And we've all been through
the crucible and the
hurtful struggles
 
I myself struggle and 
become bewildered
Have been on one 
knee, no not even that
 
Have been on my face
in the dirt with no hope
of rising again
 
But Love remains and
Hope and Charity that'll
untie the noose from
every rope
 
*The Spirit within Us All
   is a Living Essence
   that like a Transformer,
   sends forth Energy into
   all the Vital parts of the
   Body and Quickens
   things within; Breathing
   Life or Death into Them.
 
   Unlike the Transformer
   Though, the Spirit that is,
   is Filled with Living Pulses
   that Charge Us
 
   The Spirit is the Root of
   the Tree that We are and
   what kind of Root it is, (as
   there are many Kinds of
   Trees, here in the Garden),
   Will be Revealed through
   the Fruit Our Bodies Yield
