That Summer:

In the summer they appeared

Over night these garnish plants bloomed

An explosion of varieties among the garden

I marveled at the strange and vibrant peddles

Fiery halos beholding fluttering wings

Wildflowers stretched across for miles

Citrus orchards simply beholding a blossom

Water lilies took firm root

Flowers defined me for that summer

My view changed on the world

Thriving in my father's garden
