Sowing and Reaping

Whether you plow the earth
with a brush or a pen,
the way to grow
a successful crop
is not by amassing buyers,
but by faithfully
and methodically
planting seed after seed,
day after day,
month after month.

Whether it is one year
or one hundred
before a single soul
discovers your land,
it will not be littered
with the shreddings
of well-laid plans,
reports, or almanacs,
but magnificent crops,
as far as the eye can see.

Hi, my name is Jacob Anton (ANN-tin) Davis. I am a husband, father, attorney, and writer. I have written poetry and fiction as a hobby for the past 20 years, but I launched J. Anton Poetry in 2019 to share my writing publicly. The poems of mine on this site largely describe my thoughts about the deeper connections and meaning in our everyday lives.
