~ Casting One’s Bread Upon The Water ~

Some keep a lovely garden in the country
isolated where few will ever get to see
some gardens beam their beauty
at a cross roads to be admired

Some folks keep a hobby quiet
getting sharp at crosswords
or fixing puzzles privately
mainly for an inner joy

Some writers seek to publish
to be remembered, known
to interact with readers
to share their world

Others write to scratch some itch
inside themselves — to catch an
insight or idea, or capture a
verbal photo of their day

We find our voice and sing
in so many ways — some
with a quiet hum, some
in bursting gifted song

Each vignette, weak or strong
adds to the stream of words
we cast our crumbs upon.
In blessing one another
we too are blessed
