Weeding, a gardener’s Sisyphus task
Each bed voices a continual ask<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When the hill is climbed and the stone is gone
Brief respite before the task is redone<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With no weeds the ground is free of clutter
Now tended with care delights of nature<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am bonded with earth through this worked space
This is time my world is a tranquil place<\/p>\n\n\n\n
