small decision?

that day,

being tired and low

i decided to go

to the rose garden

and there

spilling out 

in the cool of the morning

were petals

upon petals

upon petals

"Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts.  There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature, the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter."
