I built a garden up from the earth
I gathered seeds to bury in dirt
I collected buckets of rain from the sky
Soon, the flowers began to rise
I picked one from its tiny home
And put it in a vase alone
Until one day, I heard the news
A drought in the land quickly ensued
I watched from my window, waiting on rain
Days went by, the sun ablaze
I turned on the news, praying in vain
That the sky would bring a deluge of rain
I watched from the steps as the flowers cried
The greens, and the yellows ,and the reds all died
I grabbed a shovel and dug a deep grave
Gave my condolences to the unsaved
Then cursed the earth for spoiling my plan
As I fell in the hole with my watering can
So perfectly written. ❤️
