from the garden




too soon

gardens lush

changing guard
like clockwork

ready or not

and we

left wondering

how it changes
these seasons

this time
we hold
in our hand
one moment

and then

it is gone

like a thief
in the night

awakening
sometimes suddenly
and sometimes even
years later

to regret

and wondering

why

the neglect
and the ridiculous
oversight
of not

taking time to savor
the beauty
of summertime slow
and drinking deep

because

it is so good
each moment
and each day
given attention to

and the season
even now

stretching

into another

and time falling away

but right now
this moment

waiting

under a summer sky
