Creation’s Endless Harvest

Year after year,
Decade to decade,
Planting life's seeds
Often begets inclement weather
Until sun nurtures the harvest.

Season awaits.

Patience abides.

Desiring gentle yield,
Consciousness beckons Time's dense weave,
Renders baskets of understanding
As selection's precious moment of gathering arrives.

Nimble fingers of the mind
Implore release.

Tangled vines,
Branches,
Limbs of protection,
All concede.

Wisdom awaits the sorting,
Casting aside hasty pickings,
Gently nesting ready growth beneath shaded cover
Allowing cooling air to provide breath,
As voicing's infinite echo arrives.

Expectancy ushers in…

A painter's brush
A sculptor's marble
A composer's melody
A writer's language
All making ready

The creation of heart's feast,
An intellect's arrangement,
A patron's enjoyment.

So goes Nature's design,
Conceptions yet to come,
New plantings,
Conflicts,
Survival,
Creation’s endless harvest.
