How resilient the heart
How it rebounds
leaping from branch ro branch

as one breaks
there is another
soft leaves await

mysterious undaunting
these profiles spring up
wildflowers and weeds

each beckon a chance
a field to grow in
until their purpose wilts

we blink our eyes
the view has changed
in this garden of fancy

Most beautiful flow of thoughts, dear Kenneth.
Change is the constant within every apparent immobility.
And I love what you say about the resilience of the heart ... what we give in love (the more the better), is immediately replaced.

And may the garden overflow with wildflowers and so called weed. By looking close you will see the magnificence of every tiny little blade of grass. Similarly if you look deep into the eyes of the humblest being in this world, you will discover its brilliant core where the divine connection manifests.

Thank you for making me ponder ...

Love,
Margherita

Marg, that may be the best reply to a poem I have ever received. Thank you for your comment. Especially about the weeds from the wildflowers, who is to know the difference? Does it matter? Perhaps by the fragrance? Anyway they are all the green and the flowers in the garden. thanks again I'm happy my words inspired you to ponder

What a pleasant piece!
I cherish the weeds and wildflowers just as much as the pampered cultivated varieties. Kinda like people, eh?
