In Transit.
Jewelled with
rainbow translucence roll
rain-bead balls
slowly down outer-windows.
Golden-globe
seed pearls, clear watery
glories slide
in uniformed lines, floorward.
Diamonds in
transit they shine and fire
sparkles from
each crystaline orb\'s inside.
Smallest gems,
if unnoticed, might seem
irrelevant,
joining the fall into sheen.
Caught however
by eyes with keen poetic
insight rain-drop
wonder bequeaths an ode.
Once.
This loaf I bake was once golden wheat
which harvested,
threshed then ground
made flour from ripened ears of blessing.
This cheese I churn was once milky froth
which with countless
turning first creamed then set
to hardened thickness of clotted health.
This wine I drink was once fruity grape
which trodden made
from flesh musty liquid
that time changed to nectar-rich pleasure.
This thanks I give was once humbly said
as harvest custom
so feasters could not forget
that abundance appears when heads bend
