Lost Son

She searched for him
in many gardens over time
among weeds and brambles
in overgrown spaces

Through years of not remembering
the first flush of pain
from his arriving
his thriving
our
surviving

DNA

What is the vocabulary of miracles?

coincidence

synchronicity

come by chance

What stars align to bring

the unbelievable about

What mystery is this

Too many questions, too few answers,

and so

it is enough that they are here

Two flowers in full bloom

Two blended hearts

who were

unaware of sharing

a particle

of

me

“Ellecee”

Inspired by today’s prompt from

imaginary garden with real toads
