Once Denied


Fruitions seed is larger still,

get out your watering can

 

Fifty past one hundred years,

to shade what light began

 

Wisdom’s tree the hardest wood,

 millennium to rise

 

Truth ingrained, its bark unstained

—transcendence once denied 

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2020)
