    Her Garden

    Her Garden

     

     

    On her perfect patch of earth,

    she uses her endless energy

    tilling the dark dirt -

    the will of her love

    bringing life from the earth,

    I watch her watering away

    early every morning,

    working the “good earth”,

    fighting with the weeds,

    she digs deep until

    early every afternoon –

    a life-line for her

    plugging into the earth,

    drawing on its energy,

    she radiates life

    playing with the earth;

    I watch her sweat

    so sweetly,

    her tan high-brim hat

    holding back her blond hair

    and keeping the glare

    of the high noon sun

    from her pale skin;

    I watch her move gingerly,

    gracefully between

    those under her care,

    with piercing blue eyes

    she looks over the fruits

    of her labors, smiling,

    working through

    each warm mornings,

    I watch her tending

    her perfect patch of earth,

    waiting for our afternoon nap.

    Thank goodness there are those who love the earth and are it's caretakers. It makes it so nice for the rest of us.

    Poetry is what gets lost in translation.
