Planting Poems

Garden Tree

I didn’t plant that garden tree
But thinking, I just let it be
I knew I should have cut it out
But felt within to let it sprout

And so, as seasons came and went
I pruned this tree, its bole I bent
Around the gable of my shed
But left the limbs above my head 

The years passed by and I

Planting

A friend said
a little mulch
and planting
is what it takes
to transform a yard.
She bought flowers
in spring
as a gift to herself.
She laid the mulch
and planted the flowers
around a tree.
She cried out 
for last night’s storm
and all life
a touch of rain could bring.
She said
after her divorce
every transgression
could be forgiven
with a little sun.
After moving back
to her hometown
it was time

Planting spring desires

A whispered wish, longing soil deep,
Touch the stars; all are called to weep
Trillions of lifetimes, we shall strive,
To grasp the heavens, to truly thrive

But distance vast, and transparent the walls,
Keep us from picking up on unanswered calls
A cosmic dance, swaying fraternally
Wanting touch, past the moon, eternally

Across the Earth, our fingers yearn,
Galaxies, expanse whispered to burn
To

Planting Seeds

A treasure was hidden,

Dig deeper within,

Come with me,

Let our journey begin.

As the seeds crack open,

There's an energy explosion.

Life's magik potion,

creating miracles in motion.

invoking emotion, as the seed pod opens,

The roots start prodding and poking,

Their existence eroding,

Slowly growing,

Flowing with persistence.

Embracing resistance.

Obstacles slowing,

And showing the way.

Safely through the darkness,

As they play.

Building their foundation,

to maintain its creation,

generation after

The Planting of Love

May my words fall like crystal dew
upon the soft soil of your loving heart.
May it sprout the seeds of affection,
growing with this nourishment.
May your passionate flowers blossom,
roses, violets, innumerable variations
upon the fresh green pastures of your heart 
May grand sequoias touch the heavens.
May your forests flourish to time indefinite,
withstanding many storms and the test of

What Are You Planting

What are we planting in each child today? 
Is social media paving the way
Do you let them constantly on the phone stay?
What human interaction is missing and play

I can still remember things my parents would say
Rules for life in quiet speech would pass my way
Like if your friend put their head in the fire, per

Planting Seeds

leaves in trembling hues of bronze and gold, fall gently to the earth, where they’ll leave a carpet of crunching truths, blessings in beautiful ~ by poet

walking in silence, on the edge of twilight
subtle sighs, singing, stirring serenity
remembering the joy found on a still night

autumn’s descant, hints at my identity
blazing grace, richest praise in pastoral

Planting, Fruiting And Reaping

I planted fruit trees
Ten years ago; now, fruiting
My kids now reaping.

Miracle Man

Change is sometimes birthed,
from planting one single seed.
Oft times it’s solitary purpose,
Is agreement with some creed.

From a subtle thought placed,
in a fertile, unsuspecting mind.
The seed sprouts and grows,
until your thoughts were mined.

They try convincing others,
that safety exists in numbers.
The visual of crowd size,
intimidates and encumbers.

pushing back the soil 
planting life into the ground 
nature does the rest

Wonder for the proof

Greening of the roof.

Planting a Seed

("Heaven and Earth", 2024, original encaustic)

Planting a Seed

Sitting quietly
I find a seed within my heart
and entering into it plant something 
unnamable which was there all along
but unplanted.

The seed grows into a tree
which expands, arms out
to feed a sky it creates
which in turn welcomes and holds 
it in soft embrace.

Earth and sky thus joined
complete a circle

Planting Seeds

birds gather at the feeder, hovering,
near the sunflower seeds,
tap, tap, tap against the windowsill,
where a feeder is attached, 
filled by hopeful hearts who linger,
at the window, 
relishing the wonder of these flying whispers,
sighing in the distance, and laughing
through the mysterious edge of a shadow,
playing melodies on feathered harps,
lingering quietly in the morning,
as light loosens the
