spilled ink

lost keys & secret gardens

In my heart lies a door to a secret garden

Unceasingly crying out loud to be opened

I traced the string hanging 'round my neck

With shaking hands I clasped the tiny speck

My mind wavering, aspiring to foresee

The confusions and aftermath held by this key

I tugged the string and tore it aimlessly

My faith breaking as I threw it out to the sea

But then I saw Your face, Your eyes looking at me

You called my name and it sounded heavenly

I crashed to the ground, desperately running to You

But You taught me how to fly and follow through

How badly I wanted to plunge into the deep sea

To fight the killer waves, to find my key

But in Your strong hands, in Your palms concealed

The key to my garden You have revealed

My heart flying, singing a joyful song

Thought I lost it forever, You’ve had it all along

And this time I’m certain, this time I’ll open

The door to my screaming secret garden
