REVERENCE


From the dried skeleton
of a hardwood tree
he lovingly carves
a life-like sculpture.

In humble thankfulness
for this natural bounty
he plants a new seed:
his own gift to the land,
a simple exchange of life.

Such reverence for life
presages man's re-discovery
of unity in a living world,
re-kindles human hope
soaring beyond thought
of mere survival.

I might have missed this one, if not for Noah. Thank you for this wonderfully expressed bit of truth. We each have a seed of love to plant for our hopes for peace to grow into reality.
