So Much To Live For!

I've just returned from a few nights in New England 

where I was treated to a year in Tasha Tudor's gardens! 

Oh, the bliss of book-travel! 

This trip was such great inspiration to start those seedling-dreams now!

Here's a sneak-peek to a trip you can take too (if you can find the book!)

I had this unexpected pleasure thanks to a friend 

who lent me a book she borrowed from a friend so

unfortunately you will need to find your own 'ticket' to borrow or buy!😀

A trip like this can remind us of so much to live/love for!

So much to live for where moments soft-wed

Wellsprings of waiting with wishes fulfilled

Morning is breaking, mercy is not dead

Rife runs the river that death has not stilled

Where life is granting so much to love for

Four-season circuits of hold and let go

Leaving us torn between graces of yore

Before the faces we kiss with hello

So much to reach for from dawn’s pulsing prow

Where soon high noon then twilight sweeps the lea

Meteor-showers of right here, right now

Sparkle and fizz into echo-debris

Beckoning us to be all that we can

Before the hour of reckoning comes

Where still so much to learn vexes the plan

Caught in the flux of Bygone’s tallied sums

So much to hope for where seasons soft-shed

Petals of farewell for buds primed with plume

Soon we will transplant the dreams in our head

Into the gardens that leap into bloom

So many poems still waiting to be

So many moments to measure and pour

Turning time into opportunity

Where today wakens so much to live for
