Follow Nature's Rhythms

Follow the rhythms
of Nature, like true artists.
Make an effort to
prepare the soil and keep
on cultivating
the inner rose garden.
You can leave the rest
to the weather. Sun and rain
will create blessings,
to help the fresh blossoms
of image and word
grow into sweet poetry.
From brownness of earth
To the deep green flow of leaves:
Seeds contain magic
That modern times overlook.
