IN THE MIDDLE OF IT ALL

In the middle of fruit's succulent flesh
lies a seed waiting
to sprout forth reborn and anew

In the middle of rich, sweet earth
lies a root nourishing
replenishing the Herculean tree

In the middle of gardens dancing nature's melodies
lies minuscule universes, complete
executing destiny sans questions or thought

In the middle of mankind busy and eager
lies hearts spewing life
through flesh and bone

In the middle of hearts searching and delving
lies spirit clamoring and reaching
toward that thing bigger than he
