Strawberry

In the ward garden, one

strawberry

Red,perfect; picked

By a woman life blew

asunder,

The spoils of the finder,

here

Quartered between pilgrims

United on a strange

journey,

A kind act proving

Life is never fully

broken,

Sending we who go

Back out into sunlight

thinking

Ourselves whole; away empty

'God could've created a better berry than the strawberry. But he didn't.' Samuel Pepys (paraphrased).

Great piece. Thank you for it.
