The Garden of Earthly Pleasures is filled with trees bearing fruit:
Apples and oranges and apricots and everything you can imagine.
Hope is entwined within their roots, and the flowers blossom with love.
Imagine all your worries are gone with the wind, the ocean your friend.
It hugs you when you need a hug and leaves you when you want it so.
The fish brush past you in a harmonic tune and the sand embraces you.
You wonder how to make it there, the Garden of Earthly Pleasures -
But I'm sorry to tell you that no such thing exists. It is but a place in
Dreams and stories. Life is cruel, it does not show mercy.
Its hugs are choking you and its embraces are painful. Life is cruel.
But you can make it through. You can create your Garden. All you
Need is you. You're strong and wild and forgiving - full of mercy
When life is not. You're sunshine and warmth and music.
You can create your Garden of Earthly Pleasures - just smile and laugh,
And don't you dare forget to live another day.
