🌷 The War Widow's Garden in Spring | Grief Ambience — It Is Becoming Beautiful Again.

She did not tend it
for two years.
The garden had always been his —
not because she did not help —
she helped —
but because he had the knowledge —
the specific knowledge
of this soil,
these bulbs,
this light at this angle —
and when he did not come back —

she did not tend it.

The garden had its opinion about this —
continued anyway —
in the specific way
of gardens that know their ground —
the bulbs came up
because bulbs come up —
the perennials came back
because perennials come back —
the garden continuing
in its imperfect untended spring —

and she had watched it
from the kitchen window —
and not gone out —

and the third spring:
she went out. 🌷✨

Not to restore it —
she had not thought of it as restoring —
she had gone out
because the bulbs were coming up
and she had kneeled beside them
without knowing why —

and then she had started
pulling the weeds —
which had been there
for two years —
which the garden had lived with —
which she found
she could not —

and then she had done
a little more —

and a little more —

and in that third spring
she had planted:
the lavender at the east wall —
which is now established —
and the climbing rose
at the shed —
which is now at the roof —
and the herb bed
that she put in the corner
where nothing grew before —

hers —
in the garden that was his —
and hers —

and now:
this spring —
the sixth spring —

the garden in its fullness —

his bulbs —
her lavender —
his perennials —
her rose —
both of them in the same spring —

and she is kneeling
at the east bed —

and it is beautiful —

which she did not expect —

which she has been
slowly noticing
is the thing the garden does —

it becomes beautiful again —

not the same beautiful —
the new beautiful —
made of the old things
and the new things —
and the six years —

which are also
what it is made of —

and she kneels in it —

in the specific spring
of a garden
becoming. 🕊️
