This one is my Robert Frost challenge reply (from the Acropolis challenge) :)
Undergrowth of Uncertainty
Kismet comes to wash the steps of ethereal forces bent in the undergrowth of uncertainty.
Journeys of jocular interludes of the great harvest flourish.
Had that soil found its cornucopia where the sun surfaces primal prosperity?
Had that flower found its wealth where the woods are lovely and the shade of trees soothe?
A small bird flew to the garden of life to drink of its nourishment.
Others came and went, giving and receiving seasonal bounty.
As one luminary clock calculates cycle's completion, nothing gold can stay, for its time is measured.
Some say the world discounts Nature’s fortunes. I disagree.
