She is a gardener

Who can turn thin air to soil

Plant her voice and water it

To turn the world to a musical garden

She grows flowers that never wilt

That tilt their petals to the sun

Under a blue sky quilt

Flowers colored with hot pinks and the paint extracted

From the night,

Black and blue, purple and white

Colors that only the wise an hear

And let ignite their bones with poetic flames

She grows trees with leaves as free as butterfly wings

That trapeze in the breeze as they please

Her voice blooms in the air like vines flowing

It makes the stars seem unglowing

And geniuses and teachers seem unknowing

With her words containing so much power, she has energy

Enough to grow a million flowers

Enough to keep me awake for billions of hours

She is a gardener

Who can make the world unfurl

Who can inspire each and every young and old boy or girl

Who can mend broken forests and unattended gardens with only her voice

She might as well be Mother Nature.
