You'll Find Me in the Garden (poem)

You’ll Find Me In the Garden

You’ll find me in the garden

Tending my own flowers

Removing the weeds

So they’re not smothered away.

Filling the watering can

Time and time again

Providing nourishment

From tiny seed to blossoming flower.

Happy for the sunshine

Protective in the deluge

And eventually acknowledging what remains

Because that’s what gardeners do.

Bouquet (poem)

Bouquet

These kinetic petals

Finding eloquent pause

And slight affections

Sliding softly

Onto the tabletop

To sleep deeply

Withered and melancholic

And brushed away
