If you want to see
Life at work
Walk in a young orchard on
A morning in mid-May
It is as close
As you will get
To the day of creation
A fresh, green miracle
The rows neatly ordered
Branches exploding with foliage and flowers
Bees and ladybeetles ravenous amid
All the lush glory
Thriving not for man or money
But just to live
Go into a young orchard
And see
A world furiously racing
Time departing
With only one clear objective
—-grow
