Marked

a hard-skinned fruit, crinkled in the sun

Leaves its mark on you,
true exposure therapy—
just being outdoors.

Pruning rose bushes
in my rental property—
birds have build homes there.

Bloom

Roses have passed on,
my garden mint bears flowers—
little joys of life.

Gardening life

Let the sun shine through—
the darkest corners of life
will burst into bloom.

Hide and seek

That freshly mowed lawn,
a valley of nothingness—
buzzing with new life.
