The deepest seed
takes longer to grow
The time spent
nurturing
waiting
anticipating

Other less potentially flourishing
fruits of labor
arise
entertain
then fall
well before the deepest breaks sod

Were you patient?
faithful enough to wait?
overcoming the now?
immediate desire?
willing to see?
the strength, beauty, longevity...

In the further most part of your garden
away from applause of bountiful season
you planted me
not for fame, stature or acclaim
above all other planters
but for hope of private pride in sown reaping

of a variety most overlook
of a potential palate eternal
of a harvest
of heart deemed crabgrass by ignorants
of me, growing, to give back to you in return...

of the deepest seed

"good things come to those who wait, clarice"
sorry----anthony hopkins--
but this society?
why wait?
I mean, c'mon!
I want my stimulation NOW!
dammit
flash the colors before my eyes
wait?
I"D RATHER DIE!
stupid crap we live in these days
but, you are a voice in the wilderness
thank you

ooffffff... we try so hard when we think no one is looking for what we want, and when it's there finally, we fear what others might say. we get scared, religious, too "happy family" of our surrounding's take on it all.
if the planter doesn't rejoice in his harvest of this rare crop, then maybe he'll give it to someone that appreciates it?

i'll always need a friend, one i can defend.

Purity,
These seeds are sometimes bitter,
but I will gladly down mouthfuls.

Damn! and Damn! This ~

"In the further most part of your garden

Is reason enough to consider it all.....worth it.

Thanks for this thoughtful penning, friend Purity.

In reply to "which way do we go?", the answer was never "straight", but, "progressively forward".

No no no...

(Devina vigorously spreads some sunshine)...burning my poor pale seat in the process...TOO white I am.

I am all at once, sighing, laughing at Brian's immediate stimulation (cute bri), and caressing that seed of stimuli.

Chris- I say that maybe the seed is in a confusing growth spurt? patience? YES. conversation? EVEN BETTER.

stay strong sweet one, my love is with you!!

I would believe, friend Purity
That it is from the warmth of such Sun's
As those above in response
That make the deepest seed blossom
To the tallest, blue ribbon fruitful offering

If the planter was roasting and toasting
His corn harvest
While you stood so tall in the corner
Fear not,
For you will be seen by the one
Who truly searches for your special "variety"

"So give life to your dreams, for there lies your survival, and cast your heart beyond those faded scenes, and I'll bring you through the storm
