Saltpan

beaten hard under a harsh sun
losing all sap in the burning urn
left behind are white crystals
adding taste from pan to pan

good deeds no matter how small
though unseen still stand out

"beaten hard under a harsh sun
losing all sap in the burning urn", very good choice words:
In words that are simple from the brigade of taste.
Takes you away through both time & space
We learn to embrace each an every step of the way
Words that could uplift & heal;
Here are a few of such delicate pieces:

I am only a poet when I write
and a reader for the rest of the time.
