I stopped on the road to Babylon
To catch up with my breath
And sit beside the Euphrates
To wash my feet and rest
My search was almost over
For there not far away
Lay a thing of total wonder
The Gods had built one day
A garden of such beauty
It rose up to the sky
Tiered in many sections
With vines that caught the eye
Beyond them rows of flowers
In colours bright and clear
Radiating welcomes
For insects all to hear
I gathered up my journal
And made a steady climb
To wander in the glory
Of a place of such divine
It’s then I saw the Angels
Drifting through each row
Talking to the gardeners
Who helped the gardens grow
It’s then it overwhelmed me
The view before my eyes
The doorway into heaven
That beckoned me inside
I wandered through its portals
Enveloped by Gods love
Within the hanging gardens
Of a past that’s lost for good.
