Grains and Gains

See her walking the watery fields
Picking grains of rice –
She searches for nourishing ones.
See him sitting on the fiery dunes
Picking grains of sand –
He searches for the shining ones.
May they find what they desire.
Amongst the waters, amidst fire.
There’s place for beauty
And shininess.
There’s place for food
For sustenance.
There’s place for idleness
And being quiet.
There’s place for work
And for moving.
Be at ease,
Be at peace.
Find your grains,
Make your gains.
Be very still,
Find what you will.
