It's Obvious

4/19/10

With a discerning eye

one can separate chaff

from wheat in life,

easier if not enmeshed

in emotional turbine thresher

where 'waters' clog blades

when attempting premature harvest,

not letting conditions ripen,

dry out, find fruition,

there's a waiting game

for farmer of wisdom

tapping into soulful intuition,

tough choices need making

after clearly seeing growth

beyond the illusory haze

of humid summer stickiness,

as light forebodes shift

into fall reaping, winter,

then rebirth in spring

if seeds were gathered,

painstakingly tested for vitality

asking what wants sprouting,

while fertilizing, cultivating soil

within territory that's you,

turning under the weeds,

furrowing your new direction

distinct from the past,

once you've stepped back

from turmoil, it's obvious.
