reflect, flow downstream...

and I the seed 
Let loose the soil 
So I’ll germinate in thee...

IN LIFE’S GARDEN

Germinate healing…
Plowing labors of love,
Cultivating peace–
Be a gardener of grace;
Pruning away painful buds:-

What I want is not relationship
What I want is a concept
A concept is like a seed
You look at it every day
When you pass it
Once a seed is planted
It will germinate and bloom....

Sometimes, it doesn't matter 
What kind of dance you do
Who you do it with 
Is more important.

If you have a dream 
A desire and perseverance  
You will germinate 
Even through the asphalt....

I search the backwater of your body,
 to calm my fears,
 the garden of your soul
 to germinate my seeds...
 In the torment river of life, i am
eternal fisherman
of your heart
and constant hunter
of me... simply
 that, naturally
thus...!...

Lightly scuff the seeds with sandpaper or a file 
and soak overnight. Then plant in the ground 
or in containers or both.  If in the ground,
mark the spot so you remember where you 
planted as some may wait until Spring to 
germinate. Good luck....

........come and sit beside me.
Let us live in this moment.
Who's seen tomorrow?
Who knows whether this seed of love will germinate or die?
Let us fly away to an unknown horizon.
Let us not captivate our thoughts.
Let us transcend and merge.
Let us meet HIM....

On the whiteness of the sand 
in the noises of the sea-foam, 
There are dreams, fall down without buried

Ah, O shores,
that germinate death like mushrooms, 
why you germinate (in my mouth) 
a bitter taste?  
  
Ah If you were fell like a rain 
On my heart who never calms down!...

I guard my heart;
By love otherwise it will quench !
Guard my spirit by words
Otherwise it will wither!

Inside me germinate 
the seeds of longing 
Whenever emerged,
love blooming lilies!

Guard me by low mumbles  
By generous lull poetry,
touches heart by sleepy kiss on the lips....

The gods cry and precipitation of life giving rain falls
seeds germinate the fresh hydration starts new life
The water will invigorate the world 
even in the tundra covered with an impermeable crystalization of frost and ice   
The requiste of life is there 
and the miracle of Life begins again...

Tiny seeds germinate
Fresh roots sprout
New life is born!
The weeds come for free
As every beautiful rose
Has it's thorns!
Growing tall, against all odds
Growing towards the light
Laying our roots deep
Staying strong, yet flexible
We are a tree of life
Or the seed in the ground
We are 'one' of the same!...

Listen to poem:

A dormant bud bursts into flower.
A seed bursts its coat, to germinate.
The sun breaks through clouds, to dawn a new day
A caterpillar pupates, to emerge as a butterfly, beautiful.
Metamorphosis is so engaging, 
reshaping and transforming,
what we are, to what we can be, 
to what we can become,
It's so becoming!...

Does time past germinate in lost stories
its tendrils stir and drill through tender soil,
and breaks the cold clay of deep memories
but reseeds us by impossible toil.
It's Ixion strapped to the poetic wheel
spinning our tales eternally around
but never can words our fates truly seal
until inspiration’s loud thunders sound....

transfixed
                  by silence
                  quietness
surrounds
encompasses
                       thoughts
on
hold
            waiting
                  patiently
in
a
            vacuum
tedium
at
                    bay
                    ideas
gestate
germinate
                  slowly
synthesise
into
              verse...

A show of earths sweet being sunshine and green
To flash her wand sprinkling of colours unseen
Under soil they toil little seeds germinate
Roots underground without sound reciprocate
A bud blooms a song bird sings hope soars 
hearts beam
Blossoms dance to a tune in rhythm convene
Uplifted by a warm intermittent breeze
Bringing relief a tired world with natures ease.

By Ombuge Moses

Alone be not
Exist to Happiness 
Exit to Sadness 
Joy to grow
Seed germinate

Ground hot too
Wind fast and dry
Dusts not settle
A lone be not

Young you are
Suck not my breast
For dead I am
Wish, hope you grow 
Strong to tell 
The story of this disaster
Dead am gone

Son, suck not
The breast of dead
Dead is your mother
Father to find
You get, share sad
Live happy, dead sad
Peace to preach...

Hummingbird flirts over florets,
Until captivates the heart;
Petals glow in jocundity,
Assents to let kiss its bud;  
Bird flutters wings, 
Faster and faster; 
Reaches deeper and deeper, 
Into supple gland,
The bond evolves,  
Intense love between both;
Quenches longing for nectar, 
Serves in exchange, 
Seeks pollen to Germinate;
Said the sages once,
Love is seek and give;

i touched your leaf
then ran away
and some of you 
came home with me
parasitic plant
how i feel 
is how you see
a blade of grass
without a leaf
a buried soul
within a root
a beating heart
inside the tissue
of a vine
i'm blown away
all because of you

And by your method
you germinate
as my soul abdicates
releasing myself
inside your life
lovely hungry 
parasitic plant

Harvest my love in reverence
Loft these bushels to sift in air
Husk them to hearts of prayer
Sow true my coming endurance

For each Soul cocooned like mine
Must weather through the coming
Longs nights of less than nothing
No promise to germinate storyline

Push back the harsh breath of ice
Keep us wrapped wholly well spun 
Turn cheek to kisses blown by Sun
Flower us to bloom in fragrant spice
