Why is it the planted seed doesn’t flourish as easily as the rampant weed? I’ve yet to understand why the sky is blue, ‘though I’ve read a bit of physics and even listened to those who supposedly know the whys and the wherefores’ of the universe. And yet here I sit, watching seeds wither and die and cannot fathom why Love is not enough to make everything or everyone bloom. |

"And yet here I sit, watching seeds wither and die and cannot fathom why Love is not enough to make everything or everyone bloom." Hiya Kacy! You're reminding me of the Patti Smyth & Don Henley song "Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough". God knows I sang along with that one over more than a few beers...  |

OK, so let's go sing another beer tune.  LOL, did you know, I love Don Henley?! |

Kacy- I really enjoyed this. Weeds smell funny... I can prove that... but love smells so sweet until you crash from learning too much information and then your heart is broken. Love is kind, love is mean.. but this poem means a lot to me and it really brought forth some intensity and stirred my heart and brought me to see, that there is beauty in a weed. |

You are right Kel, there IS beauty in a weed, and to discover it is a blessing, though sometimes it is hidden in disguise. Thanks for reading.  |

The weed is eaten by birds for need The flower is for show The sky at some point will through pollution only be grey We take seeds and decide where they should be The seeds we put down decide The birds drop seeds to where they have survived before and will grow again We think we can change nature But nature changes us Love is not enough to make everything or everyone bloom. Yes I sound like I didn't enjoy your words - yes I did - very much, but words should make you think and yours did. dave |
