upon the sun-parched earth
unlocked a seed's potential
for life as well as mirth
For a patch of vibrant color
Emerged from that favoured spot
And as I passed it drew my eye
This new life unleashed by lot
Now examining a life without due regard
for gods or greater matters
Can discern only half the inner thirsts
That leave like minded souls in tatters
And so I thank my G_d today
for unearned graces granted
And overturn my half filled cup
towards errant seeds unplanted
Peri Bathous would be so proud!
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful poem.
ReplyDeleteIt's a "cheesy" poem. ;)
ReplyDeleteI like cheese.
ReplyDeleteThis is more like Velveeta... a processed "cheese product". ;)
