Garden The Light Poem by Mark Heathcote

Garden the light-guarding that mystery
Garden the stars of the night
Carry them close to your heart tonight
Garden the light-guarding that mystery.

Swim in the ocean's majestic pull.
Surely, it will guide you back to shore
Surely, it will wrap me in lamb's wool
Surely, it will be like a Christmas hellebore.

A star in Winter Gardening light
So, dear innocent child garden the light
Garden the stars of the night
Carry them close to your heart tonight.

Garden the light-guarding that mystery.
Call on minuscule specks of grandeur
Let your true spiritual sense be a voyeur
Garden the light guarding that mystery in you.

Call on that mantle of ferns, dew
Surely, it will direct you to a crystal stream
Surely, it will leave silt gold particles within you
Surely, one day, you'll be too, a star supreme.

Garden the light-guarding that mystery.
Garden the stars of the night
Carry them close to your heart tonight
Garden the light-guarding that mystery.

Swim in the ocean's majestic pull.
Surely, it will guide you back to shore
Surely, it will wrap me in lamb's wool
Surely, it will be like a Christmas hellebore.

A star in Winter Gardening light
So, dear innocent child, garden light
Garden the stars of the night
Carry them close to your heart tonight.
