in an afternoon
of golden sunshine
she splays love
onto fertile fields

casting seeds,
anointing the soil
with a blessing of
flowering blooms

her plantings
invite the beloved
to walk with gratitude
beholding
an endless beauty
while breathing
ambrosial scents
as children welcomed
back into the garden
of an unconditional
abundant love

for MbR
Thank You
Beloved
