Garden Tree
I didn’t plant that garden tree But thinking, I just let it be I knew I should have cut it out But felt within to let it sprout And so, as seasons came and went I pruned this tree, its bole I bent Around the gable of my shed But left the limbs above my head The years passed by and I...

Planting
A friend said a little mulch and planting is what it takes to transform a yard. She bought flowers in spring as a gift to herself. She laid the mulch and planted the flowers around a tree. She cried out for last night’s storm and all life a touch of rain could bring. She said after her divorce every transgression could be forgiven with a little sun. After moving back to her hometown it was time...

A whispered wish, longing soil deep, Touch the stars; all are called to weep Trillions of lifetimes, we shall strive, To grasp the heavens, to truly thrive But distance vast, and transparent the walls, Keep us from picking up on unanswered calls A cosmic dance, swaying fraternally Wanting touch, past the moon, eternally Across the Earth, our fingers yearn, Galaxies, expanse whispered to burn To...

Planting Seeds
A treasure was hidden, Dig deeper within, Come with me, Let our journey begin. As the seeds crack open, There's an energy explosion. Life's magik potion, creating miracles in motion. invoking emotion, as the seed pod opens, The roots start prodding and poking, Their existence eroding, Slowly growing, Flowing with persistence. Embracing resistance. Obstacles slowing, And showing the way. Safely through the darkness, As they play. Building their foundation, to maintain its creation, generation after...

The Planting of Love
May my words fall like crystal dew upon the soft soil of your loving heart. May it sprout the seeds of affection, growing with this nourishment. May your passionate flowers blossom, roses, violets, innumerable variations upon the fresh green pastures of your heart May grand sequoias touch the heavens. May your forests flourish to time indefinite, withstanding many storms and the test of...

Premium Member What Are You Planting
What are we planting in each child today? Is social media paving the way Do you let them constantly on the phone stay? What human interaction is missing and play I can still remember things my parents would say Rules for life in quiet speech would pass my way Like if your friend put their head in the fire, per...

leaves in trembling hues of bronze and gold, fall gently to the earth, where they’ll leave a carpet of crunching truths, blessings in beautiful ~ by poet walking in silence, on the edge of twilight subtle sighs, singing, stirring serenity remembering the joy found on a still night autumn’s descant, hints at my identity blazing grace, richest praise in pastoral...

Planting Seed Miracle Man 4/26/2024 Change is sometimes birthed, from planting one single seed. Oft times it’s solitary purpose, Is agreement with some creed. From a subtle thought placed, in a fertile, unsuspecting mind. The seed sprouts and grows, until your thoughts were mined. They try convincing others, that safety exists in numbers. The visual of crowd size, intimidates and encumbers. ...

Premium Member Planting a Seed
("Heaven and Earth", 2024, original encaustic) Planting a Seed Sitting quietly I find a seed within my heart and entering into it plant something unnamable which was there all along but unplanted. The seed grows into a tree which expands, arms out to feed a sky it creates which in turn welcomes and holds it in soft embrace. Earth and sky thus joined complete a circle...

birds gather at the feeder, hovering, near the sunflower seeds, tap, tap, tap against the windowsill, where a feeder is attached, filled by hopeful hearts who linger, at the window, relishing the wonder of these flying whispers, sighing in the distance, and laughing through the mysterious edge of a shadow, playing melodies on feathered harps, lingering quietly in the morning, as light loosens the...
