Endless Harvest

Year after year
Decade to decade
Planting life's seeds
Often begets inclement weather
While sun nurtures
Harvest's season awaits
Patience abides

Desiring gentle yield
Consciousness beckons tools
Time's dense weave
Renders baskets of understanding
Selection's precious moment of gathering
Arrives

Nimble fingers of the mind
Implore release
Tangled vines
Branches
Limbs of protection
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

Expecting

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

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

So goes Nature's design
Creations yet to come
New plantings
Conflicts
Survival
Imagination's endless harvest
