Tending my Garden

It’s beautiful!
It’s wonderful!
It’s magical to see
the creativity coming back to me.
Yet, procrastination is still an enemy.
I wait so long
to plant the seeds,
and then neglect the sprouts.
They go without water,
starving and dry.
I must remember
to water them
and tend to them daily
so they can grow
beautiful blooms.
It’s been so long since
I have felt this way.
I’m making moves
to ground myself
by tending to my own garden.

My garden! It blooms
so colorful and pretty.
The garden of my mind
is where I will gladly
spend more of my time.
