from summer's relentless southern sun
has donned its springtime raiment --
a cloak of feath'ry soft bright green.
Soon blossoms (fuzzy, yellow "caterpillars") will appear
to dry, mature and drop to ground --
a crop of beans with dual promise:
food when ground into a flour;
seeds, when planted, transform
to tiny trees that grow into wide spreading
thorn-free glories like the parent
from which they sprang:
creation miracle again revealed.
