Good Ground

Moist and pungent, under hard crust
The trowel uncovers, good earth pure
Some rocks to sift, some clay to break
Mix in some horse shit, or sheep manure

A gentle bath, and careful stroking
Warm rays of light, and promises
Seeds of friendship, carefully placed
Soft warm bed, more sunlight kisses

The miracle never fails
To surprise and amaze me
How soil, bullshit and tender care
Can make a tender stalk a tree

Bud of friendship, bloom of love
The miracle unceasing
Bright colors in this garden
I hope you find me pleasing
