They didn’t plant anything
yet the trees and wind and squirrels did
yet the trees and wind and squirrels did
And up came the odd plant
and hundreds of sproutlings
in Spring after the rains
——————————–
They planned and prepared
and planted seeds of choice
Drawing patterns of beauty
which made sense to them
and after Spring’s drizzles
and energetic doustings
Plants bearing promises
of sustenance and inspiration
burst forth to grow from fertile ground
