Patterns are beautiful
made for the mind
repeating like seeding
is safe to be sure
seeking to simplify
symmetry's kind
for rhythm needs weeding
and rhyming's manure!

Rhythm will gallop
a horse is a carrier
bringing the message
to those who can hear
but some like to think
that a rhyme is a barrier
blocking the flow
of a message you fear!

Keeping the rhythm
brings sleep to the soul
a sense of reality
comforting true
but once you are in it
the pattern seems duller
and sleeping
mentality changes the hue!

what shoots from the seed
is what God has put in it
but as for the crop
well it is all in our hands
the gift and the sower
are so tied together
for everything planted
has natural demands!

and naturally we are the gift
from The Giver
yet everything in us
requiring care
practice and patience
brings fruit from our talents
the giftings were planted
to have and to share!

I prefer waking
to dreaming and napping
I tend to my garden
and think as I ****
I work for a living
but energy sapping
I'll nap for a while
and tend to my need!
