Dragging the trunk from tumbled bed,
Planting the seed, to heave to stand.
Dead branches numb, need light to lift,
With deep inhale we reach for the sun.

Flowers unfurl to drink in dew,
To wilt at dusk, bow down to ground.
Shedding the leaves in carpet mulch,
Protect from frost, turning the bed.

Certificate U
Poem
Poetry...kindof.

Another nice one. May I ask what you mean by turning the bed - do you mean turning the soil over? It's a lovely turn of phrase.

Hi, Walrus, drawing the comparisons of the sun coaxing flowers to waken, and us too. Turning the bed to protect from frost has double meaning of the flower bed (turning the soil) and our bed, pulling over the covers until the sun wakens us once more. Glad you enjoyed it :)
