Harvesting Light

How do we harvest light? We dig through the darkness. When light is a turnip Growing in the rocky Newfoundland soil Digging through the darkness Hands bloody and torn Digging into my past Through trauma Stories and roots Block the path Rocks and fears Make the work Challenging, draining Often I need to rest Light is the quest The digging worthwhile Golden ears listen A great gift given Lessons come Light lessons Unlike dirt Undone by A good scrub Light permeates Till you and it are the same No washing required Wishing you love and light Gordon Martin February 1, 2019
