One fine day I went out walking with
Nothing on my mind,
It was then I happened upon this wondrous
Garden I thought i would never find,
I strolled around taking in the splendour
Of its shrubs and perennials so fine,
They lifted my spirit so high, I had to find
Somewhere to sit and rest these feet of mine,
Then as if by magic I spotted this welcoming
Seat in a dark corner of this beautiful place,
So I sat and rested, and it was then my mind
Began to race,
Out from this house of glass came a maiden
Who’s scent filled the air,
Come with me she said,
if you have got the time to spare,
She took me inside this dark house, I was a bit afraid,
but for the wonders that in there lay,
My lips were moving but there was nothing I could say,
She opened a door that led through the wall
And it was then that I began to fall,
It was only when I opened my eyes and to my
Surprise,
I had fallen into a deep sleep on this seat
In this garden, then as I began to rise,
I suddenly realised that it was just a dream in which
i had visited a mysterious world,
When all the time I was lying on this seat,
So wrapped up when this mystic journey unfurled.

Secret Garden;
One fine day I went out walking with
Nothing on my mind,
It was then I happened upon this wondrous
Garden I thought i would never find,

Of its shrubs and perennials so fine,

Somewhere to sit and rest these feet of mine,
Then as if by magic I spotted this welcoming
Seat in a dark corner of this beautiful place,
