The Bridge

I am always in awe of what plants do. Here is a little poem along these lines:

The Bridge

I ate the fruit

I saved the seed

I put it in the ground

and day by day

with sun and rain

a bridge has dared

to bring together

Heaven and Earth.

A short poem

Gratitude To A Vegetable Plant

Thank you,
for speaking to the elements
on my behalf.
Thank you for reaching deep
and reaching high;
that through your efforts
I may bite
into the soil and the sky.
