where the wild flowers grow

Yes, there is fear
within open eyes.

So I close them..

I embrace blindness.

Although it causes me
to miss

the doves who nest
on the ground and the
preditorial aspect of
these fluttering things
we love..

oh
the tails are twitching.

I saw this thing
it's last breath..
I cupped life in my hands,
if it were only as easy as
lending breath..

In the mouth of
my garden a secret
just waits to be uttered..

something bound in magical wire

something
made
me this way..someone

crossed my stars right out and

i heave my tongue into my
lungs so that not only
would I be blind but also
I could no longer speak..

Using signals and scents to make my way
along the
shrine of datura..

a poison well
we drink the very existance.

should we touch upon youth,
we'd never learn with age..

Amazing how these things work,
i perspire with loving rage..

Must the ground seem so close as
I'm falling?

I never once admitted in my belief..

So I stumble 'cross doves and I
let them feather
around my feet..
All unknowing of whether they've grown
black, bleak..and void
of divinity..

if the young survived..

I am one of many..
who has found
stength in the weak.

There is much to be learned from the weak creatures in life...if we open our eyes.  This reminded me to do just that, and take a better look at the world around me...thank you, and this is a lovely writing!  ~S~

Accept these small gifts from my gypsy heart  ~~S~~

Sometimes the simpliest things ....

                     hides weakness
                     can be left unsaid
                     gives us the most pleasure
                     can make us think
                    
                     leave us wanting more ...


      ... and perspire love's rage!!

          Blindingly beautiful - ALWAYS

must the ground seem so close as I'm
falling..? - better to be close than far
away... to much time to think about the
fall... as a Gin drinker once said... I love
flying, I just hate the landing. keep your
feet in the garden K.
