Cultivation

Rays of light

And roses of white

A bumblebee takes flight

Such a wonderful sight


The earth cool and wet

I bury the seed

Waiting a few sunsets

On fresh lettuce I will feed


Plummeting droplets

Wet the soil and the roots

Moisture and sun let

My roses rise and roost


Creating life from soil and light

Makes for such a humbling sight

Harvesting basil and thinking I may

Grow parsley next season, peppers or maize
