The Garden of Friends

This garden is growing wild
with friends of varied
color, shape and size

Each unique in expression
likened to a flower,
stretching toward a common sun

While they appear separate,
a deeper connection exists where
unseen roots meet and intertwine

None are trying to be
or forcing growth,
flowering happens

Winter looms,
colors fade,
form collapses

Fear is abolished
in knowing existence delights
to discover and meet itself again

Spring comes,
vibrancy returns,
friendships blossom
