Your Gardener
Send us a Text Message.Written and Music Composed by Peter @cellobuddy Poem Edited by Sarah @QueenOfTheVoidx Voice by Caleb @VothCalebArtwork by Mie Arts  Dedicated to Carol Your Gardener You sit perched in a field of beauty Blowing along with the wind The hungry stubborn violet Always starving for something more Not yet knowing How far your roots can dig Or the spring you could have Your potential unknown Your growth unimagined Your color a mystery Then we found each other I had little to offer But water and care All I wanted Was to be your gardener You asked How do I grow? How can I become the garden I’ve always imagined I could be? With no answers I say to you I want to be your gardener To stay by your side I can see it in your roots The single violet isn’t what you were meant for Or what you wanted There was a garden to grow And seeds to plant What I saw in you Were pastures of flowers With reds, blues, and lavender hues With lazy cats still as statues I imagine a home for the colors A spectrum of you Each a memento Of the travels to come Moons have come and gone Through each I’ve given you tenderness and care Cultivating what your garden needs  To grow into the garden of your dreams I dream of you Water and care This was all you needed For your last few roots And now What I see A beautiful bouquet Starting to fill The garden wall There is nothing more that I want Than for you to grow To grow with you As a gardener tending to your flowers Support the Show.Thank you for listening!
