In Observance
Sometimes life calls upon us
to give more than we think we can
There are perils we cannot anticipate
The suffering of others which we can choose to watch from the sidelines
or reach out despite our indifference
the inconvenience of disrupting a day with full intentions
laundry lists (literally) best deals, produce markets busting at the seams with culturally diverse multi colored options, fruits we have not bitten
even though we wrap our fingers around them, smell them,
are tempted by them
and allow the most important parts, the sweetest, to slip through
drip on our toes
cause our feet to stick
make a mess of the carpet
But, most curious, we refuse to plant them in our gardens.
