Magpie Tales #22

I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. John 15:5

There was a seed

so small that I just

brushed it off my fingers

and hoped it would alight.

Then there was a sprout -

two tiny leaves

and a slender stalk

…so fragile.

Planted in the earth,

watered (abundantly),

drinking sun and soil -

gardener's alchemy

And now! These ripening orbs -

pomme d'amour indeed.

Ancient miracle of

seed, water, earth, sun…

My love walks

hand in hand with God

to bring to me

the desire of my heart.
