Give and take

Tree roots take from the ground where dropped leaves are found

With a crunching sound in footsteps they are ground

Returned, by soil reclaimed, new food from light tamed

Fruit picked from the tree, now in seeds new life will be

Poems take from the mind deep thoughts that are mined

Sprouting forth in flowering verse colored feelings so diverse

Dropping petals and seeds a brighter spot among life's weeds

Fireworks of worded fragrance on a barren ground now discarded vagrants

Heaven's light fallen on beggars downed, becomes new beauty found

In these leaves of rejected words flow the songs of the birds

I plant wildflowers in my garden. They expand to everywhere in my yard. I love how you used the language. Your words true and so wonderful. Nature give us everything and we must appreciate. Thank you Soren for sharing the outstanding poetry.
