In the Garden of Dead Leaves
author's note:
A poem for our Winter season.
IN THE GARDEN OF DEAD LEAVES
The garden of dead leaves taught me:
beneath the surface
of that stagnant black pond
rich life multiplies.
The garden taught me:
slow decay in the shadow
will suddenly blossom into
circles of pink mushroom.
The garden told me:
don't worry--
you're exactly where you need to be...
