A Poem For Today - Wheat

[kdick...@aol.com]

Wheat

 

Let a stalk of wheat

be your witness

to every difficult day.

Since it was a flame

before it was a plant,

since it was courage

before it was grain,

since it was determination

before it was growth,

and, above all, since it was prayer

before it was fruition,

it has nothing to point to

but the sky.

Remember the incredibly gentle wheat stalk

which holds its countless arrows fixed

to shoot from the bowstring --

you, standing in the same position

where the wind holds it.

 

- Ishihara Yoshiro

Do not imagine that you are alone in your village, in your city, or among the infinite worlds.

Do not imagine that you are enchained to this time and this space.

Do not imagine that upon your death, loneliness will become eternal.
