Garden Bed

under the covers of
a patched worked existence
in material that I’m not
sure where it came from
live the pulled threads of my life
apple sheen in spring green
dirt brown settled with promise
today vines wither in the chill
weather the cold in solitaire
and lay down my diamond spade
to keep the only heart I have

"no darkness has ever been deep enough to extinguish my personal knowledge of love" Anne Rice

Thank you for sharing your garden with us. I don't think any flowers could be more beautiful than your poem.

I read this when you first posted but didn't say anything because it's so beautiful I had no words
