On Deeds

To the faint murmurs of your conscience, heed
Let no evil in your heart breed
With good thoughts your mind feed
In fecund soil, plant the seed
And harvest the fruits of your deed

If you allow darkness to dwell and deepen, the outcome is devastating. Absolutely beautiful, poem. Brief but exquisite.

What we plant, how we nurture will be our fruits -- how future generations of our ways will know -- and how God will decide, in His graceful time if humanity to terminate or continue to hopefully let flow.
