I hold in my hand a little seed, the seed of intimacy, and I have a place next to the stairs just off to the right of them with enough light to stimulate what’s inherently hidden but I turn it this way and that; will it bloom or remain unused? One day I’ll settle into the silence to know of a future to come but this learning curve no means to be sure of an absolute truth. Little seed, little seed, of intimacy how mournful you look unused and in the passing of months into years the one who cast you aside will become a thorn in your side ~ and that’s how the roses got thorns!

Thanks so much, Bobby. I really do appreciate your comment. I usually like a bit of mystery but I think this one is out there without any frills. Perhaps I'm evolving - you think? Love Helen |

smile... You're very good, lovie! And I happen to have a rose that's blooming, and oh I wish she had thorns. I'd like to keep her blooming on the bush for a while.  I need to read you more often lovie.  |

Better not read me more often, dear Karen, otherwise you'll become as confused as me.  No, I don't think "confused" is the right word but when I come up with a better one I'll be sure to let you know.Helen |
