The Greens Speak |

An appetite to dream again, to read again, to glow With excitement over questions Of subjects one never cared to know! In spite my respite from his genes, The greens, they speak to me, “If it’s life, you think you’ve missed, Wake up and spread your leaves. For wheat does not ask its grain, nor Does corn slow itself to know what constitutes its stock; yet, instinctively it still grows." One can almost hear its talk Vast fields and meadows, streams and mountainsides Inspired to a higher. Outside a self to climb. [This message has been edited by miscellanea (08-10-2006 12:16 AM).] |

For wheat does not ask its grain, or Does the corn slow itself to know what content is inside of them. I like the invitation to ponder this delivers... even though some things just are. *S* The greens speak well! *S* |

Hard shoes to fill, huh? luv, misc Catrina, You left out two of my faves, brussel spouts and asparagus. Midnight munchies? hm... have to think about that for a good bit!
