Come And See by Strider Marcus Jones

you don’t have to be extreme

to be content,

other forces feed

this show-

they build on what has been

and mingle with consent,

then roam the rivers we invent-

using nature and nurture’s seed

to make it grow.

unshade your grey, reclusive hours

and play your made, profusive flowers

all the way:

don’t let regret upset your dream-

it’s all it’s light has been

and make what it empowers

from today.

but hark at me!

not knowing

what i’m sowing

day to day

deliberately-

and yet, i know it’s coming,

comes from going

out of me-

what i don’t make, i borrow-

come and see.
