Bye 2017! Hi 2018!
written by: Dr. MOLLY JOSEPH
in the
wilderness
of the garden
grow
weeds
that resist
unweeding…
demure,
they hide
spread
invisible
fooling you.
the flowers
of
last year’s
garden
covered them,
those
tiny weeds..
2017,
I love you,
for those
flowers…
the fragrance
they offered…
the smiles
that cheered..
2018,
let me stop
unweeding
your garden..
revelling
in your
wilderness,
with dreamy
eyes
let me trot
with a sprint
in my steps
a song
on my lips
flowing
with the flow..
