In the Garden



Photo by Charles Elliott

I watch you putter in your “Garden of Earthly Delights”
and feel grateful. Feel the years of emotion move
through me like the breeze moves through your
field of poppies, orange petals fluttering like
butterfly wings. Feel grounded like the
milkweed you grew from seed, strong
ready to feed caterpillars, ready to grow
back for more butterfly eggs. So many
growing things you nurture. So many
lives you help unfold as they were
meant to unfold.
