Mustard Seed
Guest Author Opie R. Houston, Austin, Texas
A Haiku Epic
consider the seed/
of the rambling mustard shrub–/
a shelter for birds/
one tiny black seed/
filled with boundless energy/
hopeful in the cold/
being truly blessed/
by both bible and quran/
for an immense task/
its selfless sole goal/
will create a perfect place–/
a haven for all/
