Standing out on my driveway,
I see the sunlight shining down from
The cloudy sky, its warmth caressing me like
Blankets on a soft mattress fresh from the dryer,
Protecting me from the wintry winds outside.
Trees provide me shade and shelter as
I go about my work as the gardener,
Introducing new life to my arboretum.
The shovel slices the dirt with its blade;
The rocks refuse to comply in their obstinacy,
But a slight shove creates a gaping hole for
A young sapling, once inserted, beginning to
Bloom and thrive with all of her vibrancy.
With her sisters planted beside her,
She shines with all of her radiant light,
A complete rainbow for all of Eden to see.
When finished, the birds sing in harmony as
Rodents play together in complete excitement with
Serenity nourishing my soul with sweet tranquillity.
I look to the sky and see the Creator looking
Back at me with a smile on His face,
Acknowledging my efforts with affirmation as
Nature, His finest masterpiece, continues to thrive,
Forever adapting to the chaos of the universe.
