Abundance is, in large part, an attitude.

Wonderful or supernatural events are not so uncommon, rather they are irregular in their incidence. Thus there may be not one marvel to speak of in a century, and then often enough comes a plentiful crop of them; monsters of all sorts swarm suddenly upon the earth, comets blaze in the sky, eclipses frighten nature, meteors fall in rain, while mermaids and sirens beguile, and sea-serpents engulf every passing ship, and terrible cataclysms beset humanity.

Pleasure In Our Bounty

Bountiful harvests compliment you-beloved;
So rich with the gathering bounty...
Your wheat and corn fields are most plentiful... indeed--
Garning the corn 'tis nigh;
We two are within these fields--
Aglow with love...
Our hearts never more sure;
Explicit in our very dreams---
We dance to the rhythm of our hearts...
And welcome the twiglight with open arms...
Soon-yes- very soon--
A waltz under the Harvest Moon---
You 'twil surely catch me should i swoon...
For in your arms...beloved...'tis where i belong;
Ah... but for the gathering...
The season for sowing 'tis done--
And together a prolific abundance we have reaped--
Could our love ever be more grand or fulfilling--
As it 'tis right now...this very moment?
Here 'neath the moon-in the breeze of our Eternal Youth?

Bakers's World.

Pray not sank,
Pray abundance energy,
Pray successful Strength,
Pray blessing above.

Here comes a baker's world,
A pilot,
A sailor,
A driver,
Attested largest in Africa.

Pray not sank,
Pray abundance energy,
Pray successful Strength,
Pray blessing above.

Here comes a baker's world,
A pilot,
A sailor,

Torch After Torch

Do you prefer;
As ravens do
Winter’s chill
Empty limbs
Bareness?

Perhaps;

Springs lushness
New leaves forming
Roses opening
Night birds singing?

Let LOVE dissolve you into
the moment of the Season
or you will light torch
after torch trying to find
what's already in front of you

(Inspired by the brilliance of Rumi)

Plenty

There's a horn of plenty,
plenty to go around.
But where he comes from
there's not much to be found.
He thinks about the plenty.
He wonders where they are?
When he stops his wonderin'
he knows they are too far,
too far away.
