Like a young seed thirsting for rain,
I want to grow, and feel the same
In your vast world where love is born,
And good-bye is the painful thorn

Like flowers open their petals,
I embrace the sun’s bright signals
In your fields of fresh aroma,
Poison is the ultimate karma

Cultivate, and I’ll blossom on earth
Shower your love, and I’ll find my worth
For I am your vine, you are my wall
Cling on as we learn to rise and fall

Let me survive in this Cosmic Garden
Of wild orchids & dangers,
Of wild beasts & strangers.

I will survive in this Cosmic Garden,
Our own blessing, our own curse
Our shelter, our universe

Home sweet, Cosmic Garden

I stumbled across this poem while doing an assignment for school back when I was a teenager. I liked it then and it’s good to be able to reflect on it once more.
