A LITTLE SOUL GARDENING

 

Soul gardening is the practice of nurturing inner well-being, spiritual growth, and emotional health by treating one's life as a garden to be tended, often emphasizing mindfulness, slowing down, and connecting with nature

A LITTLE SOUL GARDENING - Maureen Clifford © The #ScribblyBarkPoet.

 

When we escape the narrow cage, pull up our roots

and head for that distant hill

old memories take a walk back in time.

 

We were never good at forecasting history,

we received to many mixed messages,

to many random thoughts,

and we unleashed pain daily onto our 'inner child'.

 

Music makes memories

but now that loving feeling has up and left,

and the music has stopped.

Perhaps in truth it was

for all that time merely an impersonator.

 

Things unknown await.

The sighing trees echo the sounds of my departing dreams.

The fallen garden leaves mimic my hopes -

 discarded from the old

but hopefully replenishing the new.
