tiller

you took an interest
in my garden

you planted tiny seeds
transplanted tiny plants

you came and tilled the bed
made it ready for planting

you comment on the birds
the wonder of the trees

you see the power of the mystery
of a universe so vast

you see the beauty of the mystery
of the tiniest bug

you see the relationships
between them all

you see them as a whole
as a cosmos

you still come and till
my garden, my soil,

you plant your seeds
you turn my compost

you till my soil
you break it open

you make the mundane resplendent
you make it fresh

you make me dream
take those dreams
and make them flesh
