ONE DAY

One day the paddies are all brown stubble
then one day they're all water
then one day they whisper green
then one day they're all jade blades
then one day they're tall green banners
swaying in the wind
then one day they bend
and feed us all

I particularly like the image of the rice bending to offer sustenance...very Japanese in imagery.

That's exactly the way it looks, too... very graceful in its largesse...
