In a Garden

Blossoms everywhere
Color blending bending clashing
Green…all shapes and shades.
Cooings… clipping
A tangled vibrant
Mass of living things.

How to join
To find my place
In the profusion
 To drink in
To melt into
Without deconstructing
Decomposing

No naming
Planning
Evaluating
The merit of this
Against that…
Quiet   now   busy brain

Just open
Join
Become
One more piece
Of all that is
