Portrait of A Wild Garden

Portrait of A Wild Garden

A Poem by Neville

Portrait of A Wild Garden

 


I wasted so much of spring


thinking about


starting work on the garden,


before I knew it ..


Between the bees, the birds


and the summer ..


   They had all beaten me to it ..

There is a great deal to like about wild gardens. They attract the wildlife. Not just the birds and bees but butterflies too. Nice to look at. Sometimes it’s great to just sit and chill out and relax. Reminds me of nature taking over everything in its way. Like that Victorian cemetery I wrote about. Natural is beautiful.

dear Neville... we have wild lavender that appears every Spring. There is Magic sown by Birds and Bees. Your poem is a Portrait of Nature's Inheritance. Be blessed as Earth unfolds. tenderly, Pat
