water garden

Everything
Is fresh today
Even the little annoyances
Of jester ear are pleasing
 
Waking to
An early purr
Of a lawn mower
Makes my feet tingle
Awaiting the opportunity to walk
Across the fresh rich carpet of scent
 
The cawing
Of brakes
The squeaks and oinks
Of buses
The Homer Simpson D’oh
Of trash cans dropping to curb
 
The world seems gentler today
Maybe it is the trickling
From the new garden
Giving fruit
To the sound of everyday living
