“A Permaculture Garden”

When storms of anger shook the town
Mark and Susan called the circle round
Not with shouts, but with open hands
They turned the soil, they healed the lands

Together sowing more than seeds
They planted trust to meet all needs
Roots of care, of earth’s embrace
Grew stronger than the hearts of hate

The village rose where weeds once spread
The garden sang where discord led
And in the bloom, their myth was told
That love restores what fear had sold.
