IN CONCERT

An honor drenched Sum-Of-Parts

Reigns supreme over a beautiful scene

Even though its In-Part-Stalks stand spindly

And its In-Part-Leaves grow dull green;

But as inner potential bursts forth

To extol where rooted beneath sky,

Innerness erupts into singing and, in concert,

Both Sum AND Parts stun beholding eye.
