The Lord replied, my precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you. "There is no life higher than the grasstops Or the hearts of sheep, and the wind Pours by like destiny, bending Everything in one direction." Sylvia Plath, Crossing the Water, Wuthering Heights. Nominate a poem for the InterBoard Poetry Competition by taking into careful consideration those poems you feel would best represent Mosaic Musings. For details, click into the IBPC nomination forum.

This is the first of four answers to the "Painting Challenge". Tomorrow's Seeds - A Sonnet is followed by three less serious forms after this post. Syl, would you be so kind as to put the picture with each post?

Number of downloads: 0Tomorrow’s Seeds Each curve, an invitation to appease some hunger deep within. The epicure may see a flower’s fruit that’s sure to please the palette but the mind remains unsure. Its alabaster flesh awaits the touch of teeth and lips or eager tongue to taste fruition’s flavors; ripening that such a sweet delight may seldom go to waste. But colors fade; their crowns of gold or red will dissipate with age from pleasure’s light and in time’s wake, an aftertaste of dread will fill the mouth. Such is an artist’s plight to capture precious moments with their eye and gift tomorrows with those seeds which die. ······· ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy Kindness is a seed sown by the gentlest hand, growing care's flowers. Larry D. Jennings MM Award Winner  |
