Gardening day
Posted: April 14th, 2011, 10:43 pm
the sunlight will play along the garden bed
reflecting like a halo atop my head, and
I will dig with spade and hands, planting
annuals, fingernails filled with dirt, immersed
in mulch and oh how much I love the scent
of it! Possibly this weekend I will
buy the multi-colored eye treats,
complete my bed preparation,
feel the warmth of sun upon my face
and make a new creation
in the space I have prepared!
I saw a praying mantis on the glass door,
sure his time has come to watch me dig
and find a home for vinca and petunias,
mutli-colored hues to soothe the winter
blues away, and with the robins I will sing,
my heart enveloped in the springing forth
of another globe rotation, the sensation of
being one with the earth, giving birth to
a vibrant spring! Ahhhh, the rhapsody of
gardening! I cannot wait to view the lush
display on gardening day, to rush inside
when thunder hits, await the storm and
after-mist, a kiss of life so welcomed
and longed for and adored!
