Two palms spread
tilling soil,
pulled back, a quick snap
from a burn left -
by grains of silt and pebble.

the grit of life.

Oh, the last seedling of Spring
rears its' sleepy head,
steadfast and strong
daring the sun to embrace it.

Just this once . . .  

Yet, this small voice is stifled
among a garden, flourishing
with hydrangea, coneflower
and sweet basil . . .

Beneath the rock, tilted just so
it hides, keeping company
with the first frond of forest fern,
waiting for its day
to explode.

*rubbing my eyes*

Nope... it's still there...
And just as great as I remember the others being.

Hey Sue,
Loved this!!!
I havent been here in a while but i am glad to come back and see something so beautiful by one of my favorite poets here.

"So what befalls the flawless?
Look what I've built, it shines so beautifully now watch as it destroys me."
