Ismael Nery circa 1931
in the kitchen window
a small plant
leans toward light
its leaves thinned
translucent
yet still it reaches
i water the plant
watch the soil darken
whisper into silence
as if silence remembers
Love this reflection, Helen 🌸
ReplyDeleteAs a plant person, I love the nurturing of the small plant. And yes you can talk to your plant, smiles.

The plants on our window sills are the first to greet us each day and have a special place in our hearts, Helen - nicely done...
ReplyDeleteA watered spirit listens, the roots grip and leaves widen in the light. That's gratitude for what is given. As this poem is.
ReplyDeleteYou brought that small plant to life, Helen, I this delightful poem, and I love the tenacity of the plant that still reaches, and the way the soil darkens.
ReplyDeleteI love that you focus on the plant, and it being nourished.
