! ! The Harvest Of The Mind Poem by Michael Shepherd

Consider for a while,
deeper mind as agriculture:

garnered seeds at rightful time –
deeds as seeds –
surrendered to the wisdom of the earth
which contains the wisdom
of all other elements:

surrendered to the faith in nature,
hope of harvest;

in the meantime, nought to do
but pray and praise and cultivate
that inner earth; care
for next year’s seeding field;

repair the fences of discrimination; trim
the hedges, spinneys, copses,
where free nature of herself displays
so beautifully, that which is.
