Golden harvests

( To Rainbow group )

The hands, full of corns

pick up the golds and

he lifts them to nostril.

The aroma of fresh

golden harvests comes.

It pervades, fills nerves.

He can ignore those

burrows of pains that

flow down under

each of the corns, bruises.

The droplets of water

reflect million suns.

Impressions of world

are trembling on mirrors

of them; metaphors are

taking shapes of truth.

 

His small girl is coming

like a gush of liquid life,

with lunch, packed carefully.

He smiles to receive God

as it is.

Those who sow with tears will harvest singing. Right you're Poddar harvest is golden.

When we harvested cherries in the 1950's we would be full of cherry juice-soaked denims and accumulated dusty soil, when two ladies in starched cotton dresses bearing baskets with lunch for the two orchard owners would pick their steps toward our location. The little girl bringing refreshment to the corn farmer reignites those memories! Thanks, Poddar.

Life is a wonderful thing. Food is something we take for granted, but how the farmer must await the harvest with trembling anticipation.

Nothing is more precious than a child, and you know how to capture it.

Hello :o),

I just wanted to stop by since I am finally going through what is now listed as under 4,000 pieces of gather new mail that is sitting in my inbox on here.

With that mentioned I just came across either a mailing from you yourself, or someone else brought this piece to my attention. You or they felt that your creation should be shared with the gather community, which I am very glad that it was passed on to me to view. So I wanted to say Thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to publish it here on gather for us to all view. :o)

As well before I leave you I wanted to wish you a Happy New Year... in 2009 :o)
