Our Garden A moment, external to self to consider this intimacy, palpable in its unfolding, the four of us - living metaphors of the garden we tend. Just clay and weeds after winter’s hail, still, there are signs of spring , the cherry tree - a preview of pink; the slivers of bullion pricking through gray skies. My son and I pull the milkweeds, you and my daughter lug last fall’s leaves. Soon we’ll all plant seedlings, I’ll catch your knowing glance in this day-by-day growth toward family. © 2001 Corinne Bailey |

The last word, as all of this, is exquisite. "When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey." Laurie Lee |

"grow toward family" (loved this especially) each time I read - the brevity and power come thru - you are SO good - |

the four of us - living metaphors of the garden we tend. ================= Soon we’ll all plant seedlings, I’ll catch your knowing glance in this day-by-day growth toward family. =================== very cool use of metaphor to define the mentioned metaphor ... always enjoy your poetic perspective C, very nice feeling taken from this a lovely promise of things to come seasonally and personally Strange ... the desire for certain pleasures is a part of my pain. ~Kahlil Gibran~ |
