if i could only plant you in my garden
sweet gales from the west
would sing to you good-night
and soft rain in october
would seep into your bed
and you would walk through the forest
into the hands of thankful spirits
brewing and chanting
away from the forgetters

Are those all different plants, herbs? Sounds like it, just checking. That appears like it would be a very wonderful garden, though I know nothing of any of them, cept maybe tamarind. Which just sounds like an orange to me.

Very pretty words, by the way. I want to be a gardener, it's on my list of long-term (read: time-intensive, annual) goals, along with carpenter, Spanish-speaker, and martial artist.
