GARY

There are some Giants
who wander around
slowly and gently
tilling the earth with their bare hands.
They need no plow,
for the earth moves aside
from the strength of their existence.

Some others pass by
and think the neat and perfect rows
are from an individual's arduous hard work and sweat.
But when masters see these rows, they know.

These rows' perfection
are not just from hard work.
They have come from innate talent and love.

and could not be matched
by only hard work.
These fields,
and the foods they will bear,
are masterpieces to be treasured.
