The Gardener Ahh... the daises are done They've opened their petals, every one As I breathe in the roses and the peonies bloom Such fresh sunrise, I awaken to I gather my basket, clippers and gloves Out to the garden planted with love The colors are perfect a sight to behold Selected for brilliance their shadow and height Each morning I sigh at this wonderful sight Their fragrance intoxicating, the blending suburb Dashed with a dollop of fresh growing herbs I think that the daises will do for today Pink ones, blue, yellow just fine A back drop of baby's breath and tarragon vine A shower and make up and I'm out to my car In forty five minnets I'll pull in your yard As I listen to music on my way there I drift to the sweet words, no worry's or cares I remember the day you worked out the plans To put in the garden, my Phenomenal Man You dug and you planted, talked and you cursed~ Sing with a whistle, recited in verse Each and every detail you attend to Now its the flowers, I bring to you Oh the gate is left open, this is just fine My dress wont get tarnished by the rust on the vine I see you my darling as I pull up the car I can't wait to be there, I'm not very far I slide to the crib side and open my door I notice new neighbors, not there before I quickly walk pass as I head up the walk Lay the flowers at your grave side As I sit down and talk © tori 2000 ------------------ If with pen in hand I've made you think I've not wasted one drop of ink Vlh. visit my site~ http://www.hsanet.net/user/dkm/hellomy.htm |

Oh, Tori~ This was just lovely and the ending was too sad. Flowers blooming and shared with memories of a loved one ... how poignant. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Devine!! Sweet, sweet memories you shared in this poem. The minute you got into your car I knew where you were going. This one is a grand slam! Alle'cram |

The ending was unexpected but so lovely....so lovely... This was beautiful Tori...  I love the time and in between the calm inside me in the space where I can breathe... Sarah McLachlan |
