Once, flowers were placed in gun barrels

As a form of protest.

Today, a garden is needed

To keep the soil of the meadow

Soft enough for all feet to walk upon

Barefoot

 

We grow in common ground.

Share the dirt.

  12. Oh! What you can do with lens! It makes love through the viewer and your prose seduces thoughts that resonate!

    So nice. 🙂

  29. This is a really beautiful, poignant piece. You say so much with so few words, each lexical choice serving a purpose – I especially liked your use of ‘barefoot’, as it invokes a sense of nature, but also a sense of gentleness/softness/safety as they are able to walk that way without getting hurt or cut. The picture is great too; I love the vibrant colours! 🙂

  34. My favorite lines,
    “We grow in common ground.
    Share the dirt.”
    This says so much with few words.
    Thank you for the spirit of unity.
