the heart is a garden

So then walk with me this way. Let us take a turn among the shrubbery and get lost in the wild roses blushing against the kiss of daylight fading. Feast your eyes on the greens of my life, that spring forth from the soil from which I take root, the rich thud of its solid presence invites a glance -- the heart is a labyrinth of earth beneath my feet. Do you dare to walk this path if you knew the soil was soft and thin with tears?
