Garden of My Southern Heart

 


What is this feeling?

Blindsided like a surprise storm on a muggy night

In the summery swampland of my hometown.

The murky waters of my grief rising, 

In the corners of my souther heart.


I remember a time when love bloomed 

Like camellias in the spring of my youth.

Only for the petals to be blown away

By the turbulent winds of a hurricane.

Hoping maybe that the seeds of my joy can take root,

And thrive in a new and foreign place.
