A Thimbleful of Seeds

Neville

A Thimbleful of Seeds

 

Some men

have their faith

Some men

have a way of life

 

I have a thimbleful

of seeds

A fistful of weeds

A pledge an oath a creed

 

We Kenshi

call it Dokun

Some men

reach for the moon

 

Some men

clutch at straws

There are

those I know

 

Who would

gladly die for what

they most believe in

Love and life

 

Are my religion

and I would not hesitate

to die

For each of those

          Fido was about to bark when he saw 'passion', but I said - not that sort of passion, Fido! heehee.

              My faith in My Spirit is unchanging and death has no mysteries as if I were to die for anyone or anything in My Life I know that I will always be with My Spirit.
              Good thought provoking write Neville.

                  Could not agree more, since I believe Love and Life are everything. Here, you speak it well, with emotion and pride. In particular, I enjoyed the way that you organized your stanzas. Mix in some rhyme, some ideals, and you have a poem of seriousness about Man's existence. Short and to the point. Enjoyed all of it. - Phil A.
