The Seasons: A Poem

Posted by on
Sunrise over Amazing Grasses Family Farm The mad Artist wields His brush, Painted colors rush, To life and give flush, Before the quiet autumn hush. The life seems to pour, As colors fall to the floor, To be seen no more, Outside the dark, grey door. Brightness from below, Sun upon the snow, High, cold clouds blow, Flakes and ice appear to grow. The man melts with little seen, Underneath, pale, grey green, Hides life in dark unseen, Waits for warmth and to careen. Buds on branches show, Patience starts to grow, Trickles, streams and veins flow, Bringing fruits of melted snow. Sprung to life it springs, Bees, birds, sound rings, Lush green flings, Its gift bounty brings. Green growth gives one last rush, Underneath the Painter's brush. The mad Artist wields His brush, before the quiet autumn hush. More poetry is available from James M. Hahn in  The Last Dragon and Other Poems  available now.

The Heavy Plow

Posted by on

 


The Heavy Plow

The Plow upon His shoulder,

He walks across the land,

The earth spreads open,

Behind the steps,

Of this man.


The Planter of the seed,

Pulls the heavy Plow,

The ground is rent,

Soil bared,

His work draws a crowd.


Like a beast beneath the yoke,

He stumbles in His task,

The Plow digs deep,

As the crowd around Him laughs.


The plow row behind Him,

Opens to receive the seed,

While men and women rejoice,

To see Him on his knees.


The Plow again now rises,

Here, double yoked,

A Cyrenian pressed in service,

In this cruel, heartless joke.


The heavy Plow upon them,

They furrow up the hill,

The crowd of endless ages,

Laugh at it still.


Blood and sweat drip,

Watering the row,

The seeds begin to spring,

In the garden far below.


The heavy Plow is planted,

Firmly in the dirt,

The work is nearly finished,

Of sowing this rebirth.


The Planter on the Plow,

Looks out upon His work,

Though His heart is pierced,

He declares it - good.


Earth, now turned over,

Beneath the heavy Plow,

Stands waiting for the seed,

Yet the enemy stands by,

His hands filled with weed.


The heavy Plow continues,

Through ages, times, and seasons,

A new Garden, a new Earth,

Heaven’s fruit - the reason.
