Poem topic:  "Harvesting the inner garden"   

                             by Kathie Houchens, September 2014

plump protoplasm  
still and silent   
odd orbs    
cells of intention    
clustered close    
chambers of development    
invisible growth    
ever expanding    
hidden riches    
sweetened with time    
necessary nourishment    
showers of wonder    
soil of suffering   
sun of gratitude    
ripening randomly     
spontaneous readiness   
gifts of beauty    
cosmic generosity
