"Goodness is like hate Both grow from seeds" - Arthur Vaso I kneel on you Red earth like the blood flowing in your veins Blue cold as your eyes Beautiful and skipping Like dragonflies on water and lilies I am frozen In your disdain Diminished In your contempt Beneath my withered hand Thump thump of your heart Whistles soft as a breeze to thaw my starved lungs I dig a small hole in your red earth To plant my seed of love And smother your hate *** March 5, 2017

Oh, Darren, if only we could plant such a seed and banish hate. Your poem is compelling and there has never been a time when we needed to plant seeds of love more than today. Thank you for sharing this gem!

We need to stop hate before grows by smothering it with love

Yeah, I had it written out as a draft on my blog, but even that was gone....

I might use smother instead of kill... I believe that's what I originally had. But my pc froze and I lost it all.... So frustrated :)
