Flowers of the Curious Mind

Flowers of the Curious Mind Sent were flowers of the curious mind following echoes of Cantu's muse No curses , words grossly unkind insults hidden deeply in clever ruse Dare not stab sweet music of mortal man with deeds sordidly played tho' sweet Transgress not Nature's surviving plan with arrogant contempt born of defeat Embrace life's melody as a lost friend dancing within it's tune so fine Live, live gloriously until life's end drink, drink richly of it's finest wine! 05-24-2014

Thanks so much Tim. I wrote the original as a longer piece but revised it to a shorter one to keep the flow smoother and the message more intact. So kind of you to give a comment my friend.
