Consent


Seeds of beauty
Wait to germinate  in the fruit
Of consent.

Earth consents to the sun,
Dawn gladdens heavy hearts,

Water consents to the sky
Clouds silver shadow
The sea.

Shore consents,
Waves sculpt
Junipers and stone.

She consents,
A son is born
Who consents,
Saves all the world
Who will believe.

Such love, 
Falling of leaves
To Autumn's attending,
Eternal love,
Consenting.

    Of consent ....

    That Sir is intense. I will remember it.
