what shall we grow in your garden my dear if my seed comes to breed in your nursery? a dolphin or a deva or a true devotee that your love may never grow thirsty
for a soul is so real and so whole and so free and a body is so frail and so human are we are we dreaming? is this the earth dreaming too? will we live till we die wondering why or will we learn to grow day by day by day by day by day
with the fruit of yr labour asleep at yr breast will you nurture them softly and quietly? and when next thing the offspring have flown from the nest can you love them and let them go quietly?
for a soul is so real and so whole and so free and a body is so frail and so human are we are we dreaming? is this the earth dreaming too? will we live till we die wondering why or will we learn to grow day by day by day by day by day
and here comes the autumn when leaves turn to gold and the waning moon silvers me lightly in the afternoon sun its good fun to grow old as you hold me and lie with me quietly for yr love is so real and so whole and so free
and a body is so frail and so human are we are we dreaming? is this the earth dreaming too? will we live till we die wondering why or will we learn to grow day by day by day by day by day
and when old father time rings the chimes of my years and i see my life turning around me when you lay me down in your garden my dear will you kiss me and let me go lightly?
for a death is so real and so whole and so free and a body is so frail and so human are we are we dreaming? is this the earth dreaming too? will we live till we die wondering why or will we learn to grow day by day by day by day by day
