team work

god has been my gardener
for many years now.
in the back yard.
the front yard is handled
by the condo
association.
but god brings in
whatever he feels
like, on the wind,
I suppose. vines on the fence.
the weeds, the ground
cover, it may be clover.
a strange bush, and even a tree
it seems has begun to grow,
planted near the fence.
not where I would have
put it, but what
do I know.
on a whim last year.
I bought some packets
of wild flower seeds
to help god out,
spreading them generously
like confetti in the yard.
finally they have sprung
into view.
splotches of yellow,
of violet,
red and blue. we're
a team now. me and god.
you should visit and see
what we've done.
