Spring Gardens
Nemesis of well tended graveyards
flourish with abundant life—
luscious with nourishing reward.
Birds and worms feast without strife:
basking in the sun are ripe red tomatoes;
rivaled only by the soil’s full bosom potatoes.
Clouds of joy shed quenching spring tears;
Zephyros, Chloris and Carpus have been kind.
Life blooms in fullness without any fears;
butterflies daily hovering to rest and dine.
Only nature could have crafted such budding plots;
allowing us to be their plowing handmaidens;
and benefactors of their yielding—healing crops.
Blessed are we to have these earthly spring havens.
