Poem with no name

Songs and stories, memories and moments
plants and planting, hard-working,
forced rhymes and rhythms
how can we sing the Lord’s song in this strange land!
flown from another place, mission,
seeds planted,
garden on hiatus,
gardener on garden leave.
Wildness and wilderness
creeping, seeping in
spreading, expanding
Kingdom rewilding

Dandelion’s planted
thistles and thorns
buttercups and poppies
divine intervening

Unsolicited brambles rooming and weaving
uncontrolled, controlling

World reclining
humanity shutting down
lost
foxes and foe
reframing, reimagining
paradise reclaiming
taking back what humanity plundered.
world on a ventilator, humbling
no going back
no normal to return to
twisted, bent and buggered
worn out, keep out!
 
revived
rewired
renewed
New stories to write
new songs to sing
what new song can we sing in this new world?
