He plunged into everything, head first. Gathered, scattered, piled and leveled. He'd sink in his teeth, for better or worse. Shifting from groomed to disheveled. She too, took on the earth, head first. Worked hard to loosen it's hold. She drained men's strength and was often cursed, for leaving them feeling so old. Many weeds had grown, where wild oats were once sown. She loosened the vines that had bound him. In time, she dug out all the hard stones of doubt and a softness began to surround him. They worked well together and somewhere in time... He was ready and able and moved To tend to the dirt that had filled her life. All she had broken... He smoothed. Now, flowers grow plenty in their Garden of Life. Birds sing. There's a blue sky above. Earth yields easily Days hold less strife, since the rake and the hoe fell in love. |

I like this, Larry. It's always a process leading up to love but when a plan comes together ... the flowers grow! May the rake and the hoe live happily ever after.  |
