Grainy i'd say..?

In the kernel..In the buds, in clouds that wreath above, in the timber feel its form
Its with a direction all things are born,
Maybe sometimes you're inclined to go
Against the grain.' Is that not so.? Maybe
A better way is waiting for you.? But from
What iv'e seen its only God ' who'll see ya
Through.'

Ahh she uses the phrase..I do wonder from where it sprung.? Maybe an Aussie writers motto it Will become.? And then to the wider world it can strech.' There Might be no limit.? Yet of what is its reck.? Maybe not to massage An others ego.? I am doing my own deciphering as i go..If thats the case.? Then Alison indeed have a go.! Pull and stretch, Spread the phrase on and on ergo.! Damn and i was teying to be humble mate.? Its the power of words..!

Battling against the grain is very hard work. I love your imagery In the kernel..In the buds, in clouds that wreath above, in the timber feel its form A cloud that wreaths above - magic
