Linking with the Sunday Muse for Muse # 121 Hosted by the amazing and immensely talented poet Shay!
Come join us!
I was once a corn field in Virginia
I reached across the horizon
stretching wide like arms of a lover
the wind and I danced every chance we got
my heart was so full like a rain bucket in Seattle
overflowing with the promise of growth
I did not know of the harvest in October
and the journey that lied ahead
or how what cuts us
leaves a mark we carry with us
for I was cradled in hope
and though life has taken me further
from where I started
I still feel the warmth hope has
nurturing others with all that I have
there has been a bounty
that has returned to me
sure like a bird in flight
love’s provision for me
to hold
the giving and the taking
are braided like a basket of food
I give it to you my love
and in the hunger of taking
that is your greatest gift to me.
