i
know i’ve
been tested,
tolerated, tried.
these fine weather days
when varied hues of bright
geraniums bring life to
life itself, i see dejections-
wander, and only to return back
like weeds, in my neatly laid out lawn grass.
misty rise of emotions, flicker, flit,
flutter, like butterflies on a life’s
golden mission: cradle morrows-
in my silver linings and
when self doubt lingers like
dusk in the garden
skylark brings hope:
i know i’ve
tested,
tried.
