Rich and Fertile Ground

It was springtime when you found me

Nurtured me

Helped my take root

In fertile soil rich and new

Through love and caring ways

I blossomed and bloomed

In all my glory for your eyes to view

The joys we shared

As in our seasons together, we grew

Now you lie silent at my feet

No longer to caress my slender limbs

And I grow old, alone, bare

My leaves brown and brittle on the ground

A blanket for your sleep

Two of us together, sharing rich and fertile ground

 

Copyright© Michael R Wood 2002

 


Life and Love, like a tree need fertile soil in which to thrive.

MAy I share this?

"Bleeding Dust"

She walked away from barren land

To seek some life {love}

In new found ground

Away from bleeding dusty sands

She found another broken heart

Bleeding with this land

Stark reality now facing her

All she could do was just stand and stare

From dust to dust she soon will be

Living across this barren land

Where hearts will forever be!!

As bitter tasting waters from above

Torched and burned away

Poisoned in time and remembrance

But when time does come to say goodbye

As hot dry wind blow bleeding dust away

And as harshness scorched the ground

To turned clay into bleeding dust

We will rest our heads on barren sand

As bleeding dust will fill our hearts

And with dripping tears in drifting sand

We will feed this once barren land
