Even when there is mulch
and greyness
rain for days
and cold weather

there are herbs
in the garden
waiting to bring
spring into your salad.

fresh blossoms dress up
old scraggly tired limbs
some young at heart art

Flaunting and Reaching
Focusing Attention
Inspiration to Rise
and Reach Upward.

Powers of Attraction
Mask Powers to Repel
Tell you to Stay Away
from the Bitter Taste

Mask Powers to Heal
Make you Feel Better
when the Bee Stings
and other Things.

You can tell beauty where to go
encourage beauty to enter
make a reservation

but even while you make plans
cover the cold land with a blanket
look for beauty in the spring

she decides where to go
where to show her true desire
and when as if divined from heaven.
