Just this morning
I went walking
In the Garden of my Mind
A hundred scents greeted me
A thousand petalled faces smiled
A single leaf was shed for me
Falling to the footsteps of my heart
I met a man under a tree
He smiled in greeting
Dressed in pants of green
Shirt of white
His skin Dark. Olive.
His eyes sinking blue
I am Valdinore
I would be your guide
I would partner you in the dance
His third baffled me
I knew of no dance
I heard no music
The music is inside
He replied
Answering
An unspoken wondering
He took my hand
He held me
As we turned and twirled
My feet finding the melody before my mind
We danced for hours
Never tiring
The tempo falling and rising
Without bidding
It was the music of life
The melody the tune of my soul
He knew the music
He knew the dance
He would teach me
Guide me
Lead me
Hold me
In the coloured garden of thought
I found the soul symphony already playing for me
