“Layering in”
(A)woke this morning, model there
From my art-work-why – just "layer
In" like garden plants ahead,
Set in garden spot instead –Of the final place they'd sit,
Giving time to prep a bit;
Poems, pictures, novels, notes,
"Layer them" – time I awoke –To the fact that's what is there;
"Archaeology" compares
Past to present, change in time
(Part of what I have in mind).These aren't relics of the past
Made ahead when no-one asked
For their treasured store of wit,
Insights, which in boxes sit –They are more like farmers' crops
Poured from fields in truckload lots,
Ready for next process stage;
Now such words flow on this page.Layered in? I like that stance –
Says I'm "learning steps to dance";
"Interweaving wool to hats";
"Crafting products from my flax".Yes, I've layered in my stuff;
Never seems to be "enough",
But a shift has taken place –
Prepping now my garden space –Is the task which lies at hand
In this frozen prairie land,
Which soon rests beneath the snow –
Blossomed art next spring will show.Thanks Holy Spirit for this.
