"It's no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then." -Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Carol Lewis


I planted a seed
in the dark, soft dirt of my mind
and soon I had forgotten.
But leaf by stem sprouted green,
adding color to my dead garden
and though my thoughts aren’t colorful
fields of flowers like his or hers
my garden is growing, for I’ve planted seeds,
and I’ll let my lonely lost tears water them
so soon I’ll have a beautiful garden, too.
