seasons in the gardens

October 7, 2025 Ellen Grace Olinger

seasons in the gardens
older now and perhaps
not as many flowers
but rather the perennials
that grow bloom
always return

my heart sees

September 3, 2025 Ellen Grace Olinger

my heart sees
what is no longer here
buildings and changes
over time

my heart sees
people I knew
and gardens that grew
in different places

I write from my heart
and my heart sees
in new ways again
