Paper Garden

She tends to her paper garden
sprinkles the white soil with ink
She grows anything that she can imagine
Fertile crops from whatever she thinks
How she loves this paper garden
She grows amber sunsets
She grows crimson love with the taste of regret
She grows azure Zephyrs that would make Monet weep
She grows her hopes and dreams
forever for her to keep She grows herself
She grows me
She grows you
She grows them happy and sometimes blue
She grows fantasy and sometimes even truth
How she loves her paper garden
Forever it's keeper
the eternal warden How she loves this paper garden.
