On Fertile Ground

On fertile ground, we pray, in surrender Each breath anew, beholding in wonder Bemused not by illusions, feet on ground We see life as it is; merry-go-round Mindful that our touch, to each be tender No bias held, for colour or gender Love suffused, leaving no hearts asunder Inner sound current within us resounds On fertile ground Though body decays, like dying ember Heightened rapture of bliss, soundless thunder No longer are by fears and desires bound Within spacial heart, soul luminous found Esoteric truths, we slowly garner On fertile ground 31-July-2021 This or That, Vol 5 Poetry Contest Sponsor: Edward Ibeh
