rich with earth and sun and rain
life itself as it ran through seed and vine
heady enough to make one dream
not just of meals laden with bounty
but even of future ambition
other crops sown in dirt raised to harvest
generations that farm and forage
wisdom once lost regained and put to use
in last delicate balance with new
and in our waning perhaps we say
at the end finally we understand how to live
