On duty

image credit:  Dick Blick Art

They change/slash the cold world of grey
with roots still alive,
awaiting for spark, array of colors,
when sun, chasing rain,
opening eyes
to see the beauty and rise
high for joy.

The goal they cherish
when jaded
still standing up
on the way home –
to nourish, design
all world satisfied,
burns with desire
to bloom.
