Your Fair Garden

In your fair garden
I found a new sun
And a reason to believe again
A new season of love
Was growing
With surprising color and stones to border
The edges of my broad heart
Watching you transform the earth
Smiling
Glistening in the sun
I tried to remember why my love died
I felt the warmth of your hands
As you toiled
Earthen hands
With nails that scratched the earth to new growth
Yes I fell in love again
There was shade and sunlight
And tiny green sprouting everywhere
Sweat and sunshine
Raw dirt
And vivid color
Such life growing by your hands
Working the earth into a bright frenzy
And I had fallen again
In your fair garden
