Sifting and sorting,

wheat and chaff, wheat and weeds,

memories,

questions,

what needs discarding,

what will I keep,

what do I want to pass on….?

wheat and chaff, wheat and weeds,

the grain ripens,

the questions deepen

as it falls to the ground,

giving itself away,

the security it once knew,

now unknown,

it is received into the earth,

drawn into the cycle of recreation,

again, again, again,

there will be a new harvest,

wheat and chaff, wheat and weeds,

sifting and sorting,

what needs discarding,

what will I keep,

what do I want to pass on…?

wheat and chaff, wheat and weeds,

another grain ripens

and falls…
