Holidays Are like Well-Tended Gardens

Holidays are like
well-tended gardens:
Apart from Nature's garland for the
Earth.
Precious days come often in the
wild.
Priest-trees meditate in silent
love.
Yet we must be digging in our
gardens,
Hallowing with our hands the flesh of
Earth,
Or weeding out the remnants of the
wild,
Leaving the lush blossoms of our
love.
In love we sweat to cultivate our
gardens,
Decking out the glories of the
Earth.
All days are holy--designate or
wild,
Yet some we make more memorable through
love.
So may our gardens bless this wild
Earth!
