Wild Edges
More for me the wild edge
Where spirits roam free
Purple vetch tumbling with sweet pea
Clover by the front porch
Daisies by the garden gate
Not the stuff for garden tours
Plants tended all for show
Manicured, pedigreed, prize winning
All in place and evenly spaced
Apealing to the ordered mind
My lawn is a daisy field
White faces raised to the sun
Time enough for the mower
When their lifespan is done
Somewhere deep I am moved to see
The dandelion push through
While sweet peas climb the telephone pole
Tall lupines marching ever closer
Their freedom a reflection of me
