Starting Over

I had a giant garden
Full of hand-made raised beds
With woodchip walkways
And personally designed trellises

It was made to withstand
Rain and hail and frost
But I didn’t anticipate
The weeds that grew from the edges

They took over
Reaching grubby claws
Into my carefully selected soil
And choking out my tomatoes

I have a massive garden
With no raised beds
No trellises or walkways
It is an empty patch of land

Sometimes to finish
You have to start again
