May Flowers

I could grow a garden in a box

If I took every piece of pain and negativity

from within myself

and put it into a seed.

I would have the most beautiful garden;

People will take pictures of my garden

and ask me my trick to get it to bloom...

My only trick

is pretending that sadness

can make something grow.

Hi Maria,

Lovely way to write about this.

Hi Maria
Lovely poem. An aching sadness in it but lovely nonetheless.
