Gardening~

silent tears rain down
as upon my knees I pray
hands  grasp the dark earth
tending the vegetables
as the master mends my soul

What better way to unleash those tears, and begin the healing? Touching and so well written, Patricia. ~ Carrie

I have always found gardening to be an effective way of sorting through troubles. You captures your message very well, Patricia!

Lovely write, I can imagine how wonderful it must have felt. You describe it so well here- Working your fingers to the bones doing something you really enjoy. (Tending the vegetables as the master mends my soul) Nicely done!!GB, Tyesha
