The keepers of life’s variety Landraces of their fields, Sit on the floor and With their cheerful talk They spread their seeds On flattened paper For each other to see, Wonder and exchange. Stewards of their way of life They save what was handed down. Custodians of knowledge Which their forebears used To safeguard their world. Here are no thoughts of profit Not of one’s gain and The other’s loss. Here is the wish to keep And nourish what Earth has provided. Here is the desire to cherish Seeds and roots keeping life For those who follow. |
