Growing  Within the Cracks

 

Soft, touchable, textured moss and fuzzy leaves

growing in the cracks on the stone patio…

even violets and periwinkle

blooming as if all the world is theirs in which to become who they are…

to bloom and give their share for Nature’s feast:

nectar and pollen for honey, 

beauty for me…

 

Their tender beauty touches me deeply.

Does my gentle touch stir anything in them?

 

— Nancy Lawrence
