Define rake and shovel then get back to me
A rake and shovel leaned on a shed wall,
Quiet tools, simple answers to the call.
A rake combs leaves with patient, gentle sweep,
While a shovel digs where soil and secrets sleep.
The rake spreads order where the wild once lay,
Lines in the grass like thoughts at end of day.
The shovel bites the earth with steady might,
Turning dark soil upward to the light.
One gathers what the wind has tossed around,
The other breaks the stubborn, waiting ground.
Together in the garden’s humble role,
They shape the dirt and tidy up the soul.
