~ Morning Wheat ~

~~
Grace
faith;-
~~
patience;-
~~
mercy joy belief,
humility and true absolution,
who themselves do-not-desire
or cry-out from-within, for-the-
solace and-security of this ... ?
~~
~~
For I have felt-and seen,
that gracious, love exults the-very-
principals ... and generous surrender for
all eternity of their open-will.
~~
~~
Perfect innocence,
hopefulness and liberty overt
from the day they were born, raging-winds-
could-not-defile;- because docile, they remain
amenable, an endearing vision of truth:-
though however fragile.
~~
~~
No greater joy-is there for me, nor-
anything-more-divine, bridging-the-expanse,
between-bitter abhorrence ... my own
tendentiousness ... unbridled-greed,
a genuine ... injustice;- and
immeasurable peace.
~~
~~
So taken-in-by the wheat fields
supplicating mid conciliate winds:- teeming
I tarried to view-them as I did amble along amid the
swaying stalks so very felicitous;- to be alive;-
and in-quiet reverence;- to my Father.
~~
~~
Touched by their faithfulness-
I offered again to Him-
for His promise-
culminated-
for-me ~
~~
~~
my essence.
~~
