There Are Flower Fairies in Your Garden If You Choose to Hear Them Singing

Grim Reaper drawings
diaries
drawings of scorpions
darker to me
than it seemed to you.
Pictures of a goddess
in the dawning of light
there are flower fairies
garden ornaments
if you decide to see things
that way.

Exclusive rights I guess
to see
between the lines.
Assorted conquests
of the purest kind.
Spring cleaning
yard and flower bed
time elapsed
time unwinds
sentimental memories
recaptured.

Who would charge
for watered down hopes?
Cinders lost
for the stifling of the smoke
and the absence of the wind
of change.
And yet...
lets be sure to map
this faery tale adventure
draw whimsical musicians artwork
and post them inside our drawers
just in case we need them.

There are rainbows lining spider webs
after the rain.
Remember that
and be careful where you stand
lest you miss the message.
Remember too
alternative conclusions
that connecting with the dust
from whence we came
might not be so bad after all.
Gardens tell us secrets
till the soil
smell the earth.
Simple gardens hosting fantasy fairies
will sing
often
when you least expect it.

Candles lit
on alters of sacred revelations
reach back towards home
but I am reminded that the trail
though difficult
must lead forward.
There are intrigues
waiting to be discovered
within the very thought of travel.

Hosting drawings of various kinds
scorpions biting their own tail
scorpions
who found other avenues of newness.
Choices made
to meet up with our own significance
and the significance of others
become grand
or not.
Map out the trail then
listen for Grim Reaper
or stories that are new.
Map faery tale adventures
and when you least expect
to understand it all
just stand perfectly still
listen for the lark
and then...
you will.
