Unpretentious

They're open

to receive

hydrating

dew,

to absorb

a saturating

light,

roots-

outstretched

to embrace

the shadows,

no matter

dark

or bright.

These ears

resonate

with happy

rhythm,

called

to amplify,

manifest

the ancient

intent

for abundance,

freedom,

tenacity

for

success.

Grounded

with

composting

worms,

while

there's

no rain,

they’re

kept

in eternal

moist,

when it’s hot -

stock in

a trade.

Infused

with

the bodies’

sweat,

brought

to melting

pot,

they’re

mixture of

bloods

and gifts,

fertilized

to fit in

the spot…
