Once I dreamt I was in a garden
Full of birds and flowers and trees
Where fruit hung from the branches
As golden sunlight shone upon the leaves
And there I contemplated
My life and my existence
(I could hear a timeless music playing
softly in the distance)
And I thought about today
And I thought about tomorrow
And I realised how short and precious this life is
And hoped that some time here I could Borrow
Just to look a little more
At all the beauty that surrounded me
Just to gaze for one hour longer
At the mystery that astounded me
And I hoped in that moment
That I could love all things
But love them equally and honestly
Love them all without attachment or jealously or strings
No I did not wish to bind them
But only let them be
Be as beautiful as true things are
without any debt to me...
