I remember
when I was young
and first began
to watch plants
and flowers grow
and then placed
one rose from
a garden of our own
in a glass of water
on a table
by a comfortable chair
and sat there
most likely with
books and notebooks
a flower from the yard

Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts:
all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.
Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness
in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me,
and my prayer unto the God of my life.
Psalm 42: 7 – 8
Deep calleth unto deep *
filling my heart with hope
greater than my mind
* As you can see, the first line of my haiku is from Psalm 42: 7 (KJV). I wrote this poem some time ago.
