Cracks on the sidewalk
Seed germinate into stalk
Green! Nature into play

Sounds of steps, horns near the bay
Paper tucked, hands in pocket
Winds, cool and crisp, wets the tired socket

Money today, pension day
Doors closing, it is evening
Cats screaming, bins smelling

Sirens, lights, a fall on the sidewalk
Head covers the stalk
Morning sun, time to walk

Green perhaps another day
Seeds are plenty
No place to sow for continuity.

Life isn't always easy but if you know when to plow the fields and when to sit on the side then it is much more bearable.  Wonderful write and WELCOME TO PASSIONS

Brought to mind scriptural reference, and I did like the implications of that...I would quote it, but my memory sucks.  I'll return later, should I have a brainstorm. (don't count on it...LOL..)


And I do like this, welcome to the forum, m'friend, where 'seed' falls on fertile ground...

This is real and true to life.  A very good description of the things we may see or feel everyday but do not notice.  I enjoyed it.

Daniel--I like the way you notice the small things...and find lessons...welcome to Passions!

In the dew of little things,
the heart finds its morning
and is refreshed.
