Hey!
that sounds good, a pristine flower in the mist :) I'll take it ! Speaking of which, life comes from time to time with moments of purity, (not relating to this crazy verse i wrote lol) clarity and indescribable purity, Autumnal skies and thoughts about equinoctial points of balance within nature or creation. When they come they are like a backdrop to the world of characters and life going on around us.
I wrote this verse about 10 years back concerning a vine i was trying to train in my back garden.
Hope you don't mind me including it here. Thank you (its a little bitter lol)
And I hope you and yours are enjoying the holiday too..and recharging the batteries, and a very Healthy and Prosperous New Year to you too.
The Young Vine
The tender shoot is vigorous
Above the wall where it peeps
Long enough for it to make a
Start ; beginning it’s new life under
My inquisitive hand
I shall run it along a strand of
clean new wire; a couple of inches
a week
When its head looks south
I shall tie it in again
and again till an equinoctial
point is reached
A point of balance intuited
Or surmised
Between root and leaf
And the fruit of the journey’s
End
I shall return someday I know
To your untamed nature
And both of us shall grow
free beyond the harness
mesh or trellis of
our becoming
amidst life here
Beyond a false wilderness of greed
hatred and indifference
Where everything is worshiped
that is perishable
Everything is venerated that is
Broken like a heart
Where they say I must be
King of something bigger
Love has not blossomed everywhere
on our planet despite general opinion
