There is an ancient garden loved in spring by the child that sings and dances. Slowly, she becomes the old crone, leaning on her cane, gifting love, and healing to every rock, plant, and living being.

Her gentle magic flows as she opens her cloak and makes it all disappear.
She invoked veiling
As the garden disappears
Her walls grow thicker
