secret garden

       
in my grief i saw a light        
fields of daisies planted        
especially for me        
       
a safe place to rest        
where i can sleep        
far from the howls of demons        
that hunt me in my dreams        
       
you stand at the gates        
Archangel Michael        
assigned to me since birth        
you smile casually        
& say    
   
"we've seen worse"  
        
"sleep in the garden        
kept just for you        
no choking weeds        
or mocking thoughts        
       
in this place you are greater        
than your current deeds        
       
behold a vision        
of you in white        
a gown woven        
from the love & compassion        
you've shown those in life      
       
the road you travel        
was chosen        
before you entered
the mortal realm   
       
you are to be a light        
to others who walk this road        
with thoughts they are alone        
       
you know the way out        
of darkness & despair        
share your knowledge        
       
lead them to the field of daisies        
to their own secret garden        
so they too may find rest"
