Watching
    near silence
      words explore
                       Life to Living
Waiting
    Patient touch
      Gardeners knowing
                       Speak to Seeking
Silent
    Words Aligned
      Blooms Thistles
                       Grown to Being
Deeper
    TouchHopeRevealing
      Give unto Leading
                       Gift to Giving
Meaning
    Offering SelfInsight
      beyond "lovely,great"
                       Received to Knowing
Words
    Spark heartstrings
      speak AllThings
                       Redeemed to Beginning

Even thistles
carry pollen,
welcoming bees
and butterflies...

Even thistles.

Very very well penned indeed.

it is a song that rises from a bleeding wound

This was a fun one to play with.  I took a specific line number from each verse and paralleled it with the following verses of that line number.  I did this with each line.  Interesting reading.  I liked it that way as well as the orginal.  Overall great piece any way I looked at it.  You're so creative!

You struck a chord...
Balanced...progressive...
communication in all its forms...
Sometimes silences speak volumes, and like the gardener...patience is the key to new beginnings.
Really appreciated your thoughtful write.

Thanks to ALL

Sadelite I think you have found a key.
As there are actually Four obvious poems here, and let us say more balanced within.
I like to say as much in few words and most importantly, interweave, entwine all. I hate wasted words.

very glad you experimented with this
if you try some more, you will find more
just the way I write

Thanks again

For Sunshine

Thistles armor radiance garden
kneel down armored friends
landing place to seek the seed
which one attends all possibilities

Birds Brazilian, Greenlanders, IceTropics
abound no prejudice yet thanking gift
for gift, rain snow spread seed garden grows
gardens are forever sometimes move for room

Surrounded by the warrior thistles
Freedom lifts petals SunWise
and no mere man's hand could suffice
desparing infinite gardens hues

"High on the Mountain, where the Sun stil Shines, and the water runs a little lazy."

Oh, YES!  I saw at least two more plays. Incredible form!  I am envious of all the talent here!  Thanks for spurring me on to check out further interps.
I just read your response to Sunshine above.  Nice one!  Your talent overwhelms me.

I loved this puzzle.  I've read it about four times (maybe I should say, examined it) -- still seeing more.  Library for further study.

Thank you...this then...in return...

~*~

Here, among the flowers growing
Lay petals blown by wind,
A slight ravage of nature’s breath
But nay, no evil thoughts within ~

For petals are but lonely veils
A color of bright in spot.
Truth, reality will all unfold
When seeds replant the pot.

Some look for only colored veils
And see not the hidden source…
Like the dust that flies behind the tale
Of the traveler, and his horse

nice reply Sunshine, hence

While petals fall aground
blooming time their pageant song
tis widening eye posessed gift they
that slowly ripening seeds may adrift one day

you speak symponies nature lies true
in melodies sweeping past tense yet were
the moment vibrant actualized as vibrant
petals lonely as they fall would we have

attended the concert hall at all call thee
then colors for bees adoration gather buzzing
whispers argue over glorious revenue betting
boldest crimson lure swarms as mankind droves

for passing beauty true not always purest fruit man as nature is as calling brings
and we but blindly choose glowing petals hoping renowned seed reward see to seen

Ah...well done, Sir.

~*~

But, crack'd the seed for oils within
and rub the rock for dust of red
then dip the quill within the womb
and write me what'd be said
     that leaves on leaves the toil of soul
         those words that trip a tongue's delight
             that, savored, last, into the night
                 that, once held, is captured, in one's sight

and in the light thus captured
    within it's gleam
        is once again gone, as dust,
            so let me seed yet one more dream...

~*~

irk.  I may have to borrow me back again.

Hey you two.  I love your replies!  I don't mean to be the eavesdropping neighbor, but they are too good to miss!  Poetry just flows from you both.  Perhaps these should be put by the scrolling bar sometime.
