Sow

They that sow

in tears

Shall reap

in years

to come..

Holy tears wash

An unseemly earth

With sacrifice.

Tears’ll foster

joy…

Joy’ll foster

More endurance.

Doubtless they visit

The ground, fruit-laden

With singing.

They’ll reap in harvest,

Pluck the nourishment—

That’d once been seeds.

They that sow

In tears

Shall grow

fruit,

In preparation

Of that which is to

Come.
