Analysis of A Garden of Escape



There is much peace in gardens where
You can escape in style
And leave behind anxiety,
If only for awhile.

There are so many kinds of plants
That you can grow alone,
But know that you will fight the ants
Until the plants are grown.

The colors that will come upon
Your dreamy flower world,
Will seem like magic when it's dawn
And dew looks like small pearls.

The fragrance that the flowers bring
Make problems disappear
When they with all the colors sing
A song your eyes will hear!
