    Garden Wise

    2020

    I’m learning how to plant new seeds
    To nurture sprouts and let them rise
    I’m pruning back and pulling weeds
    As branches sway to gentle sighs

    I’m listening to the songs of birds
    And watching bees and butterflies
    I’m reading nature’s book of words
    As seasons turn, all lives and dies

    I’m resting during winter’s calm
    And blooming with the springtime flowers
    I’m soaking summer’s healing balm
    And letting go for autumn’s hours

    I’m finding secrets, tracing flows
    And keeping faith while cutting ties
    I’m conscious how my spirit grows
    I’m slowly getting garden wise
