Seeds
What happens when we plant a seed?

Planted seed now sapling
poking above soil to sky
rain and sun rattling
tender leaves dripping dry.
Seasons layer onto years
years yawn into decades.
Sobs blossom into cheers
as we compost our crusades.
Growth waxes candles’ time
layered with words and deeds.
Wisdom ripens when we rhyme
daily practice of tending seeds.
May our life gardens grow
free of weeds, floods, or drought.
May we share our harvest glow
sans worry, shame, guilt, or doubt.
