clean the air
nourish blooms and insects
replenish the soil
rest and return
The Work Of Leaves
Roots
earthly delights
colors and flavor developing
beneath the soil’s surface
Poppies
Brave souls of impoverished soil
potent charms
who bring ecstatic dreams
Survivor
but still you remain, standing tall;
your root ball defying gravity.
Dirt Road
that my way home is off the paved path.
The sound of tires on soil is my welcome song.
