the autumn glistening of a soft sun's beam echoed bravely off the wind-swept grain like a beauty queen on home-coming night while the golden stem of nature's own star wafted gently in a season's last warm warning pealing the toll of winter's soon, sure coming and the sounds of harvest rest from their hurried work fulfilled in the pleasure of jobs well sone though the smells of wheat and chaff drift through the cool of the still night air like fresh-baked pies set out on the kitchen's sill filling the fall air with aromas of achievement and the lonely stalk of grain remains a silent witness of the stillness that comes from remaining unchosen |

Very, very beautiful, whether anthropomorphically about the stalk of grain or symbolically about a human orphan or emotionally about the bond between the human orphan and the stalk of grain or a blend of all three scenarios. I often want all the teddies on a shop shelf, not wanting one to be left alone and lonely. - Owl |
