Sunday September 28

A swallow streaks
across the sky
sleek silhouette despite the grey
the stream with power rushes by
it’s crystal nature for awhile
transformed by earth from far away
Two bumblebees cling wet and tired
upon the glowing goldenrod
steeped in the stored summer sun
unrivaled by any color spun
into modern raiment of man
To hasten on their busy way
when day turns warm again
Pokeberry towers above the grass
a noble grand plant monument
to display with grace a wealth untold
for hungry beings in winter’s cold
Mushrooms perch beneath the trees
with delicate perfect symmetry
their life force sat beneath the leaves
now to rise to meet drops that come
from miles above in clouds that hung
like billowing sails above stormy seas
All these wait then for their time
of fullness of expression
And so it is with you and I
slight gentle independent one
as we work and wait
when it’s hard to see
we our effort
real and lasting
