Welcome to the Garden

There’s a path cut low through the briar and bone,
Where the sun don’t bother to stay,
Every step you take sinks a little more
Into what used to pray.
Your name’s been chewed by the mouth of time,
Your face by the grind of years,
The ground remembers every weight
You dragged here in fear.

Welcome to the garden,
Hear it breathing slow,
Every root’s a story
Of something let go.
The earth don’t care if you crawl or stand,
It’s patient with the pardon
All things bow to rot in time,
Welcome to the garden.

The air is thick with a buzzing hymn,
Sung by throat and wing,
Flies trace circles over graves
Like they’re crowning kings.
No clean hands here, no clean end,
No fire to make you pure,
Just the long, soft pull of the soil
That always endures.

Welcome to the garden,
Where the sick don’t have to lie,
Where the strong decay the same
As the ones who cry.
The rot don’t rush, it waits you out,
Knows every broken bargain
You’ll kneel eventually anyway,
Welcome to the garden.

Let the fever speak your truth,
Let the shaking run its course,
Steel breaks fast, but rot is slow,
And slow is the stronger force.
What you were will blister, peel,
Fall back into the loam,
And what remains won’t ask for crowns
It’ll just call this home.

There’s a shape beneath the hanging vines,
Big as grief, as kind,
With a thousand eyes that’ve watched you fail
Since the start of time.
He don’t hate you for the rot inside,
He fed it, seed by seed,
Every ending you tried to outrun
Is exactly what you need.

Welcome to the garden,
Kneel deep in the mud and mold,
Every breath you choke up now
Is a debt that’s being told.
Stay. Don’t beg for mercy here
Mercy’s for the hardened
You’ll be loved for what you lose,
Welcome to the garden.
