One Who Has Chosen To Adorn Organic Carrots Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Silence is golden
And a busy mind easily distracted
Is as cheap as pawned rhinestones
Awakening clearly to see
The value of things
Silence has a way of introducing clarity
More precious than anything kept in a treasure chest

Ask anyone
Who once flaunted the wearing of them
With belief they would be mistaken as diamonds
Having less worth
Than one who has chosen to adorn organic carrots
Grown to reap and harvest
From a cherished and secretly nourished garden
