"if you plant a demon seed
you raise a flower on fire"
U2




If you take a seed
and water it with flame and fire
it will grow stronger every day
with passion and desire

slow the petals bloom
softly, smooth and curved
an ember glows
from being nurtured

finally pushing through
the earthly restrain
until turning, burning...

bursting into flame.


seek the flame within yourself
and let your soul be cleansed by
the fire of love.  Axel Ekenstierna

Very nicely penned Donna.

In the midst of winter,
I found there lives within me..
An invincible summer.

Spiritual poetry aligned with nature is always a pleasure to read,

The moment created this second, is a  moment that's going to last.
It lives the full spectrum of time, the future, the present and past.
