Someone planted the seeds.
Before that, plowed the field to plant the seeds
Before that, bought the tractor, to plow the field, to plant the seeds,
Before that, acquired the land, bought the tractor, to plow the field, to plant the seeds
Before that, studied farming, acquired the land, bought the tractor, to plow the field, to plant the seeds

Somewhere the wind is blowing on a field made ready for the planting of oats
As she eats a bowl of oatmeal, drizzled with honey
That came from a box
Shipped from a factory
Processed by a mill
And before that someone planted the seeds.
~ ~ ~
She eats as she browses the web
Without thought or gratitude
For the planting of the seeds
That she is me.

Soft breeze
Paws click
Dogs whine
Let’s go
Outside.

They say, ” change takes time.”
Ha!
It’s happening all around, everywhere, every second, every nanosecond. No need to get on board. You already are.
Tonight is Maggie Walker Governor School Art Program exhibit at Art Works. Here’s an observation poem about seeing them work on the exhibit. Click here.
The clock, on the tabletop, was an inspiration this morning. A quick poem and I’m off…time is ticking away.
Show me some round women
not those stick figures
of our youth.
Bring me a grandmother
so she make speak
softly
and comfort me
tell me a story
and laugh with me
then send me on my way
warmer
stronger
loved
I searched everywhere
under the sun
and moon
for you
until you found me

Close your eyes
Make a wish
And an offering
Now walk away
It is done.
