Japanese Poppies
if i plant japanese poppies
would i become like samurai
walking with wisdom
could i broaden your horizons
seeds of knowledge...
it refreshes the mind
to become one with yourself
healthy solitude
be not afraid of my thoughts
my longings are universal
all made up of small stitches
carefully sewn together
the voyage of discovery...
tears take away pain
we deem those happy who cry
cleansing of the soul
to sit by one’s own fireside
and teach from within
a great joy
to learn a wonderful thing
listen to your mind...
if i can hear them
i like to thank the birds for song
my ears are working
if i plant japanese poppies
would i become like samurai
walking with wisdom
be quiet and calm
it is already there
