Sow, Tend, Reap, Rest

Simple, ancient rhythm
Product of seed, sun, soil, water, toil combining,
Easily recognized, yet, too often, to too many, unfamiliar.

Respect for this continuum
Charges alike, novice and farmer,
To tend, to reap, fruit from vine sown by unknown hands.

Now, nourished by this, rest.
Then, sow for our selves,
Tend for those that follow, so more may hope to reap.
