In the courtyard of the church,
the little used, enjoyed,
quiet space within the four walls
halls of the church
A wonder of color, of brilliant color
of peace and reflection, of newness
and life, birds and bees,
flowers and trees
Needing tending and care
drink in the fragrant air
A bee alights on the bloom
like a bride and groom
In the quiet of the courtyard
of the church
a dance of creation at work
bringing more blooms
in the spring
