POETRY MONTH DAY # 25 — A NON-GARDINER'S GARDEN MEDITATION

§

NaPoWriMo's prompt today looks like way too much work so I'm going the light and fluffy route and I don't even care!


A Non-Gardiner's Garden Meditation



it's been three days 
since I hurt my hands
but healed my soul in the yard


flower beds I thought done-for
—two years since last we spoke—
are greening up already



the one tulip the deer missed 
raises its head in disbelief
considers its options




a little rain, a little sun,
clouds speeding overhead 
as if they had somewhere to go 




I'm grateful for the greens 
of maple, larch, and aspen,
for the world just as it is
