A Joyous Morning Poem by RIC BASTASA

you walk in the garden
and you find that the
seed that you have
planted has become
a tree, and today
you can see
it is bearing so many fruits

its twigs are like
hands wearing
jewelries studied
with diamonds
glittering at night

it is not for you
as it will always be for
all of them
they shall pick those fruits and
relish the sweetest taste of life.

you smile and then
you walk away
to plant another tree.
