Mothering Nature

Crowned with a frown
From frost at low pressure
Sitting on the soil
To test the temperature

Prepping the beds
Trimming the ground cover
Plant early veg
See what happens next

Seeds in the kitchen
Sprouting out the window
Wonder where they go
After propagating
Weather permitting

Eagerly awaiting spring
So we can plant things

Living off pickles
On shelves in the pantry
Casseroles, curries, stews
Seasonal vegetable soups

Needing fresh greens
Vitamins and minerals
Foraging for food
And medicinal herbs

Getting home late
Keeping cooking simple
As we will be waking up early
For planting
Weather permitting

Eagerly awaiting spring
So we can plant things

With consciousness
Help nature take it's course
First observe
Then interact
Catch and store energy
Value diversity
Create shapes
From patterns in nature
Make no waste
For now's the future!

Eagerly awaiting spring
So we can plant things
