Night is silent
I cannot hear
A firefly’s light
Gently tap
Imagination
Morning is silent
I cannot feel
My heart’s wish
Ears are silent
Life is
Mysterious
A hushed
Earth –invokes
Inside the
Firefly’s light
Morning's
Promise sleeps
On ear’s tip, I
Almost hear
Earth’s love

The Dead Garden
Garden of neglect
My
Garden of regret
Divert eyes
Window’s view
Dull stringy
Weedy things
Hardly watered
Barely chatted
No tender care
Fertilizer _bits of air
Father would cry
So should I
For all that grew_
Cucumber and dew
My
Garden of spring
Became summer’s fall
Promises winter’s pall
Skip holidays
No cuddle days
Just jars of thought
Veggies brought
Come spring
Plan anew
Strive to survive
Rhetoric of jive

Public Gardens
was just on NPR discussing his book
'Public Gardens'
the basic tenet is as stated _ but these gardens would be open and accessible to the public in general and not fenced in.
