Spring Day in the Garden

A day spent in the garden
Looking after our earthly warden
Nature connect body, and mind hearten

Hastening springs return
Northerners after light and warmth yearn
Freeing us from yearly nocturne

Breaking old stems
Brittle like broken dreams
Shattering with puffs of remembers screams

Raking skeletal leaves
Like collecting trauma debris
Heavy dead limbs are energy thieves

Cutting budless branches
Composting leads to new life chances
We all participate in life’s death-rebirth dances

Physical meditation of leaves and soil
Releasing old growth that goals foil
Mindfulness by aware present bodily toil
