Poem: Garden Wall

Garden Wall

Should I build a wall around my garden
To protect the delicate flowers inside
Could I build a shield around my heart
And guard it from pain and hide
Should I destroy the weeds that spread
It’s love lost I dread
Will the flowers bloom in the spring
Can my love ever take root and sing
Should I ring the garden with barbed-wire
Will you ever call my heart a liar
Do I dig deep and plant the seeds
Will your love fulfill my needs
Is it better to protect the garden with the hounds of hell
Will I invite again your love’s magic spell
Does the sun nourish enough
Should my heart be steely tough
Do the plants gaze at the stars grandeur
Why must our hearts always pains endure
Should the wall be as high as the mountains
Will love flow like Roman fountains
Will the rain feed the roses
What questions love always poses
Will I build that wall and hide within
Will my heart from loss cave-in
For without the wall, all may enjoy the splendor
And love will once again grow tender
