To Gift A Blueberry Bush
1
To grow a Blueberry Bush
since you asked after your dream
provide Berries for picking
within your backyard.
Wild Blueberry settles
upon the land after fire
rules the land with privilege
rebirth and regrowth.
Our vitality tested
by last year and this year too
hopeful these Blueberries
aid recovery.
Bring youthfulness to body
a fitness found in mind too
desire behind this gift
Blueberries for you.
To press a Blueberry juice
upon your finger with seed
freshly picked from your new bush
to eternity.
This Bush my optimism
through your failures and through mine
you will be nourished again
with a peaceful life.

Each Berry a new future
refreshingly sweet morsel
that leaves a trail of blue stain
fingertip to mouth.
Gift this bush for solitude
daily watering routines
a need to be with ourselves
Blueberry ideas.
Harvest and take stock of life
baskets with fruit of spirit
filled with energy of Earth
after collection.
Blossom end five point star
perfect Calyx towards light
blue star Berries from the great
the divine unknown.
A Berry for the children
to randomly pluck at play
providing their nourishment
relieving hunger.
Know these Berries provide joy
five joys of Mother Mary
the five wounds of the sacred
a divine bounty.

To Gift a Blueberry Bush
end of worries and problems
a beginning filled with peace
good soil and water.
Time for your body and soul
to take a rest from pressure
the daily stressors of life
eat a Blueberry.
Share and don’t be sensitive
let your neighbors pick some too
learn to not react but share
every Berry.
When I pass this gift to you
these young potted Blueberry
bushes which I have grown fond
these moments with you.
With these Blueberries I wish
to move beyond my desire
to learn your gently contour
touch your brilliant dance.
With these Bushes I will love
and support you your whole life
provide daily nourishment
watch as our lives grow.
