Cracked fruit

mac.appsform.net

The power of the word is awesome
Expand horizons, said with passion
I heard birdsong in dream as anthem…

If dispute of the war been only phantom…
When we’re careful enough with word art…
Who knows... listen parable; when hopping

frogs were traveling, what happened:
two fell into the deep pit; although a group was sadden,
“You-good as dead”, - they said them.

One – stopped, gave up the battle,
another kept, heart pounding, the hopping.
When a frog made out, a group tried to fathom:

“Have you been listening to us?”
“I’m deaf, thanks for empowerment”, - was answer.

  4. This is very cool. The deaf frog was able to keep his belief since he couldnt hear the nay-sayers. This is a very wise parable. I love it.

  7. Something deep is going on here, something I can't quite name, for parables don't yield their fruit easily.

  9. One – stopped, gave up the battle,

    Some give up mid-way but a few soldier on. That is a clear picture of humans who react on seeing barriers to their desires. Great lines humbird!
