This makes me think of a person digging and planting a garden, with a wreath of flowers around their head, black dirt under their nails, smile on their face, red bricks around them making an enclosure in a residential area, perhaps in a city during an industrial revolution time period. :)

Even in canyons of concrete, there is hope..nature springing up between the cracks to flash us with a bright yellow daffodil.
All we have to do is a bit of digging, to find in life what we most want is lying just below the surface.

A wonderful poem of unyielding hope.
Beautiful and inspiring.

It/'/s been awhile my friend so it makes me smile to read this. Boasting of color like only your imagination can. Always a pleasure.
