Garden Quiet

[Intro] Soft morning light on the leaves, a quiet hum of daybreak Birds measure the air with patient wings A breeze writes a line along the fence [Verse 1] I sip the slow of the afternoon, the garden glows in calm Soil and sunlight share a warm, familiar psalm Tangled vines above, a small red carillon of bees I lean into the rhythm of a moment that agrees with me [Pre-Chorus] Every small sound lays a gentle map Showing me where to breathe, where to rest [Chorus] Here, in this corner of the world, I find my ease Under open skies, I am simple, free, and pleased Notice the quiet, feel the soft air on my face Content to linger in this peaceful place [Verse 2] Patio stones remember footsteps from yesterday A kettle sighs on the stove, a kettle-gray Leaves drift down like notes from a distant choir I count the breaths and let the red glow retire [Pre-Chorus] A slow, kind clock measures time by gentleness And every heartbeat whispering, “rest.” [Chorus] Here, in this corner of the world, I find my ease Under open skies, I am simple, free, and pleased Notice the quiet, feel the soft air on my face Content to linger in this peaceful place [Bridge] If worry comes, I set it on the bench and watch it fade A cooler breeze turns worries into prayers of grace [Chorus] Here, in this corner of the world, I find my ease Under open skies, I am simple, free, and pleased Notice the quiet, feel the soft air on my face Content to linger in this peaceful place [Outro] The sun drifts down, the garden keeps me close A gentle closing breath, the day in repose
