Herbs Green

by an old woman’s hand
herbs green and glowing

I thought of a friend when I read this. We are now older, seeing life differently than during our youth, and she understands the herb garden with a clarity I am still learning. I avoided getting my hands in the dirt for a long time. She explored different herb gardens.  I am figuring out what I want mine to be like during this season of life. Eventually we all have to get our hands in the dirt. The plant is only as strong as the soil.
