Simplicity

No need to rake the mind's eye ...
sowing intricacies of thorny words
There are many flowers to press
Supply nectar, soothe your weary roots
Grow comfort within your garden

gosh when I saw this the other day, I had no idea it was in my contest. My one suggestion for it would be not to use the word "wrought" and I wish I had known to mention that to you the when I saw this one last! Congrats in my contest, I still really love your metaphor here.

hehe, I wondered, Andrea. Love your appreciation and suggestion ... you are right. Thinking maybe "sow" or "choke" or "hedge" are more consistent with the metaphor. THANKS!!!
