    I wrote this a few weeks ago. I felt a change in me and then this poem emerged.

    I look to my garden
    The withered is emerging,
    revealed from the snow
    Its tomb for the winter,
    lifeless and shriveled
    A life already lived

    I look to my garden,
    see the wilted and shriveled
    A memory from the past
    Then a shoot, tiny and green,
    budding and sprouting
    A new life begins

    I look to my garden
    The bud is now flourishing,
    its leaves reaching out
    The rain drops to feed it
    Blossoming and blooming,
    A new life to live

    I am a writer Jackie and I like your prose … except for the repeat of the word shrivelled. Nice garden too. Is it on the sidewalk?

    Thank you and I totally agree. When I saw it posted it really stuck out.
