Withered Fruit

by stewart

In some ways, I am like that berry

that has stayed long on the vine.

My ripe days in the sun

have past.

Watching others be picked

and going on

has left me tired and heavy-hearted.

 

Is there a recipe

that calls for a withered fruit.

This I do not know

and wonder;

will I ever make it to a table

or remain in this shadowy place?

Clash of Opposites

Perhaps it has always been this way? A world torn apart by conflicting agendas but I was too distracted by work, family and individual goals to notice. At sunset, now that I have a bit more time I see the corruption, greed, hunger and corresponding beauty and love a little more clearly. A clash of […]

Nature’s Nightdress

A white blanket Is upon the land. Slowly fallen Without a sound. I walk on nature’s nightdress Knowing I shall sleep. And in the morning I will arise To the spring flowers. -SB

Bumping into low hanging branches, my resolve gets tested.   Yet […]
