Reflections on the bounty of life...
POETRY FOR INCLUSION
Life and passion
Unite for the steady
Hand that holds
Silver-linings for
A new season
Renewed spirit
Gazes among the
Colorful display
That welcomes
Ingestion of
Spiritual growth
Fig and tomato
Harmony and enlightenment
In a bowl of
Prosperity shining
Amongst the green
Surface
Plentiful diverse
Harvest ripe
With seeds
Of humanity
Whilst
Sweet autumn auguries
Amass in the garden
Of meaning.
