Blooms and thorns
Outside my window
Growing on the same branch
Wheat and weeds
Outside my door
Seeds blowing on the same wind
Which will I choose to focus my attention
Who do I want to be
Do I want to be kind and loving
Or indifferent and uncaring
All this growing together
In our hearts
In our world
Intertwined
The world turns
Seasons change
What will we see
In the next season
After this pandemic
It seems we get a restart
Will we be a better world
Will we be better people
Or doom ourselves
Once again
I have read
Love triumphs evil
Light pushes out the darkness
Good wins over injustice
Shall we join
This hard work
Turn the soil and plant
The good seeds
Turn our weapons
Into plows
Our despair
Into faith and good deeds
