Why The Wild Flowers Grow

I sense a kinship
(why the Wild Flowers grow)

how wildly they grow
freely they grow

unkempt fields

Spring's showery quench    

seeming no care of pruning -- 

Sun the selfless charge of Nature's light
grooming

In season's dusk, green leaves
dutifully giving way for 
skeletal presence of leafless 
far more somber trees

such ordained passing~ all for renewing, 
for ultimate re-blooming --
                     
                      a toning reminder  
as I freckle, yawn and creak -- 
my perennial soul, like that of the Wild Flowers

is faithfully, blessedly attended

under God's eternal, loving keep --
