is still hard work,
however victorious it may be,
however much in awe I find myself,
collecting this harvest
from the infinite beneficence
After the reaping,
if I do nothing for a day or two,
I am to be forgiven -
each gratitude-inducing wave
must be received, must be accorded
the full wonder of its splendor
Tomorrow I'll begin again
to gather up the gifts,
take up the work again
and see how I will grow.
