I awoke and dipped my toe in
to the garden of unknowing.
In the garden questions grew
and nearly every answer too.
Why do roosters crow at dawn?
Because the crow is too forlorn.
What will cure petunia knotting?
Trim the roots before repotting.
Do chrysanths require mowing?
God prefers our bloomers showing.
Will He help us do the hoeing?
No.
Will we smell forget-me-nots
or asphodels? Well I can’t tell,
and how much love is Life bestowing?
Just enough to keep us going.
