Yes, there is a time to plant. Shhh...there is a time to be still. Enjoy your garden; be captivated by its beauty instead of by its work. Relax and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Always, always. Never ending. Something more to do.
But the roses do not wait; they pass from bud to bloom and too soon...petals dropping.
Spring does not wait until autumn leaves are gathered. Blooms turn to smile upwards at the sun. Quickly fading, the cycle renews again.
Soon another seed ripens in the wind; a reminder of what was and will begin.
While the garden bench is empty; calling out your name.
For the shadows of what was will never equal the present gift of what is.
Enjoy the poesy in its prime. Listen to the rhythm of the season; of the beauty; of the rhyme.
The flowers dance with the freedom of the breeze; the earth alive in moments of eternity.
Receive the energy of the dirt, the rock, the blooms. Revive your tired soul with the capture of the beauty; synergy of lovely mass in space and time.
In the mystery of the moment of how it all began; what master plan could turn nothing into tender beauty;
Mathematical perfection; balanced harmony.
Glancing beyond the fence of business and chores to do and mouths to feed and the continuing conquest of constantness consuming...time.
To find again the solace of the beauty; to pause from all the voices in the world; to find
Shhhhh...hush...Listen to the birds in your garden. Hear the crickets as they sing, the water bubbles in the spring. And...simply for a moment...enjoy the beauty of your garden...shhhh...hush...and rest.

About April Campbell
Writer, Speaker, Accountant, Gardener, Teacher, Sign Language Interpreter, Friend, Inactive Real Estate Agent. I love plants but don't grow as many as I wish. The garden in my head is better than the one in my yard. However, I plant at least one tree every year and have left every home with a little more green than it had before. I hope you enjoy reading these articles as much as I enjoy writing them.
