The worm has come.
The lettuce leaves are torn.
The bee has been
And we are wise
With sweets and pain;
And rain has fostered
Weeds and seed to grow.
The ground is not the same.
We’ve tilled the land
And wait each Spring
For Eden to return.
But nothing brings
The native grass
To thrive again
When the worm’s been cut in half.
Thus heaven seeds in Virgin soil
And we live trying still to foil
An earth that’s turned
And learned of life.

A comment on Talk: Brené Brown: The power of vulnerability
The worm has come.
The lettuce leaves are torn.
The bee has been
And we are wise
With sweets and pain;
And rain has fostered
Weeds and seed to grow.
The ground is not the same.
We’ve tilled the land
And wait each Spring
For Eden to return.
But nothing brings
The native grass
To thrive again
When the worm’s been cut in half.
Thus heaven seeds in Virgin soil
And we live trying still to foil
An earth that’s turned
And learned of life.
