I love Jim’s garden
The random jumble
The perfect pairing
Of unexpected partners
Geranium and fern
Impatiens and mint
Spiders everywhere
Nothing manicured and proper
Everything wildly prolific
Growing to beat the band
I love Jim’s garden
I’m in a jumble too
Hurrying to fit it in
Get it done
Make it happen
Somehow there’s a
Tranquillity in Jim’s garden
That is lacking in my life
Do plants feel
Pressured to succeed
To accomplish?
Could I let down
Just a bit
Let the moment unfold
Turn my face
To the sun
And trust
