Seeds

sorenbarrett

Wild oats sown, now grown, what harvest do I expect?

sprouted lies a field of flies discarded respect

A word spoken now broken chiseled crack in minds wall

revealing a token now awoken casting dark shadows over all

A wind blew o'er heart blue abandoned on empty sea

No land in sight of a feathers flight the reaper laughs with glee

Blind light bleeds o'er fertile seeds on hard ground thrown

Darkness revealed the shield of what I never dared to own

Melting clouds, dissolves torn shrouds new born sun blazing bright

Lull in the storm a path to transform, daybreak's after night

      Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

        Thanks for the read and comment. Is that like the pen is mightier than the sword. Yes indeed and he who takes up the sword shall die by the sword. I guess that makes he that takes up the word shall die by the word. Oh oh too many words here.

          I think it's a bit like we reap what we sow.
