Dearly Beloved

Come,
Come with me to a spring garden all day tomorrow
Let’s play in the dirt with our hands and pull out the weed
Let’s taste the tangy wild spring onions
Let’s plant tomatoes, parsley, and green peppers
Let’s feel the sun’s heat on our back,
And a cool breeze on our cheek
Let’s listen for the music hidden in the reed
Let’s observe beauty in one grain as we must
Let’s satisfy our hunger with just one seed
Shake, flap, and open our wings, and fly free.
