you inherited the chive patch
knowing
picked blossoms fail to seed
saving you time later from unwanted guests -so

fill a jar with rice vinegar
bathe the purple buds
in time, pink flows

covering life in marinade
saucy joy splashes high
above the growing grass
menial tasks put off another day.

Poetry counsel creation dreamscapes friendship joy listening well meaning of life mental well-being my promise garden peace philosophy this writing life
