Flower Beds

---

And so it is our day of toil
our hands, the soil
where sweat let run
under the sun

In work, digress, settle downstream
earthbound, I dream
thoughts in dire need
desire to bleed

I tire, withdraw, let slip my mind
a place I find
to rest my head
flower the bed

My Flower

As the rain falls
The garden calls
I see you, flower

You glisten, wet
Perky leaves set
Your petals cower

I am stilled through
just watching you
In the shower
