Like ripples that carry outward
Opening, softly
Petal by petal
Like a dahlia, like a lotus through the mud
Dirt was used to build a garden
To let seeds root and sprout
To let flowers bloom
To let the ecosystem balance itself out and thrive
Like ripples that carry outwards
Letting seeds scatter
Letting spent flowers decay, nourish and replenish nutrients
Enriching the soil
Letting the rain softy wash and be reabsorbed
Allowing the sun to warm and dry
The cycle of nature to take its course
For the garden to be stronger and more plentiful
Where my scattered thoughts flow into verses
Line by line, word by word
Until my mind slows, until I soften into surrender
