"Unearthed" published in July 2020 YCN


Unearthed
By Janet Sobczyk, 2020

Spring weeds popped up
 ‘round the stone bench
 she sat, plucked, yanked
 dug out the roots
 tap, tap, what’s that?
 trowel hit rock
 wait, more than that
 brushed away dirt
 it’s mosaic!
 a stepping stone
 blue birds in flight
 pale pink flowers
 she sat in awe
 examined it
 perfect for her
 love of nature
 felt like a gift
 buried treasure
 from Mother Earth
 or previous
 owners long gone.
