i divide myself

between

the musician

and the gardener.

i have chosen

never to decide

between the two:

musician....
gardener....

either way,

it is meaningful;

the musician

found me in the gutter

and drummed my ears

with urgency;

tinny tones on metal.

the gardener

found me beneath

yellow blossoms and lulled

me into bliss.

the musician and the gardener

ground me

pluck me like a harsichord

until the melody

of wind, forsythia and rain

become my symphony.

Jennifer Kirkpatrick returns to Web
Digest Weekly
with a new masterpiece
in her inspiring collection. Jennifer is one
of those rare artists who can capture the
very essence of what she is feeling when
she sets it down in words. Her command
of language is exquisite and her own life
experiences enrich her work with more
than just a touch of her own heart. No
matter what the venue, Jennifer can take
center stage with ease. She lives in
Massachusetts.
