purple...
purple
follows in
the fall chill
remnants
of the bottom
allowing maybe
maturity
as nature
takes course
as the garden
is
a college
of knowledge
all it's own
no tuition
no fees
extracted
unnecessarily
simply
the will
to do
to fail
to toil
in the dirt
and when
the weather
get rough
well
captain's call
ship high in transport
as manure goes
needs time
to cook
mature manure
settle
the chemical reaction
allow
the microbials
to blossom
as the soil
tempers
the heat
of exchange
into compromise
compost just
one
of the many
tidbits
of wisdom
universal
in the encyclopedia
of true
sustainability
welcome
to the skool
of broken nails
blisters
forever disappointments
which
ultimately
are more important
early on
than
ripe
juicy fruit
celebrated
as rewards
as you
fall
into purple
