My Small Herb Corner

[Soft Felt Piano Intro] A narrow balcony holds five little pots Brown damp soil smelling of just-finished rain [Verse 1] Basil stretches two trembling seed-leaves Mint releases scent each time we touch The sage blooms hesitant purple flowers As if knowing it was planted with patience [Pre-Chorus] The watering can drips one drop at a time Not rushed like the city's shower heads [Chorus] my small herb garden Each morning just need to watch them breathe my small herb garden Enough to quiet the fluttering heart [Verse 2] A golden bee visits without warning Sips the pollen then flies off in silence We smile at the green patch a hand's width wide Knowing we too are being nourished like them [Chorus] my small herb garden Each morning just need to watch them breathe my small herb garden Enough to quiet the fluttering heart [Bridge] Sometimes we crave results coming fast Yet forget the plant only grows slowly The little garden teaches that tending is also healing [Chorus] my small herb garden Each morning just need to watch them breathe my small herb garden Enough to quiet the fluttering heart [Outro] Stand up, hands carrying the scent of basil The balcony now a private quiet place [Fade Out] [End]
