In My Garden

National Catholic Reporter,  Feb 8, 2008  by Lou Ella Hickman

In My Garden

   I sit in the sunlight--
   It
   is too bright for me to sleep
   in its warmth.
   The chair gently holds me
   and the street noise is far away.
   Even so, I would sleep ...
   a poem comes--
   one that does not fathom
   my need for rest.
   It
   is also too bright
   and
   in its warmth
   I shut my eyes
   pulling a shawl of light
   tightly around me.
