Seeker

Growth spurt of a plant—
layered, our mind is complex,
leans towards the light.

About time

Death, omnipresent,
surrounded by the living
my garden blossoms

Resilient

Pushing through the dirt
despite death and destruction
soldiering on: weeds

Phoenix

a garden patch with about 15 strawberry bushes, three tomato plants, and a handful of tiny, barely visible spinach plants

From dirt they arise,
slicing years of hardened earth—
weeds in my garden.

Time to go

a dead rose against a blue sky with patches of clouds

As the sun goes down
a deadhead rose arises—
end of an era
