from the ashes of memory

 



from the ashes of memory

sprouts a stalk

slender weak and wobble kneed

a miracle in green

 

on its head a burden fair

petalled pollen’s crown of gold

and from the dusty hollows of dried up land

rises winged lives

buzzing euphony to the crown

 

rushing mad winds do slow down

bearing gently on the stalk

to cradle the crown for a moment


every persevering seed

that breaks open the hard crust

is an Ode to Life

 

for, this is how the Cosmos was born.
