Lefty unattended


Though overgrown with weeds, 
Our lavender garden’s lush 
With the purple scent of promise:
 As with people, institutions, and opinions 
That we cherish, we look past, forget, ignore 
The imperfections, only seeing 
What we expect or have grown accustomed to, 
Forgetting all things grow and change — 
Both bad and good —
 And may get wild or unruly left unattended…
