The Mythic Garden |
Gardens are living dreams:
Immortal in their transience
for there will always be another spring.
Enigmatic in their essence
For they contain the mystery of interwoven lives.
A constant parade of color,
A nurturing place for man and beast.
No amount of work here will be in vain
All efforts are rewarded tenfold.
The birds fly to my garden to eat
The rabbits nibble on my bolting lettuce
Frogs throng to the ponds and pools
Lotus bloom in the heat of summer
My cat prowls the dill-weed forest
Bells on his collar assure the limits of his hunting.
The dogs lounge in the sun
In the feild of clover that was once the front lawn
The air smells of cinnamon and perfume
Wafted from the valerian and the newly mown lawns
Bluebirds nest in the tree by the fence
Safe in the green arms of the garden

Amo, ergo sum:
I am a lazy gardener, an itinerant philosopher, sometimes poet, a wandering minstrel. I have discovered that words are inadequate, that opinions only matter to those who espouse them, that real music is written on one's soul, and that true poetry exists all around us...the poet is simply a medium channeling the raw emotion of nature. Rapture is not a thing that will happen someday, it is the state of being in the moment, when we are willing to be surprised by the ordinary. It is seeing with the eyes of a child. It is our natural state, before we grew up and thought we were somebody and thought we knew something. |
Favorite Quote:
There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, "Thy will be done," and those to whom God says, in the end, "Thy will be done." All that are in Hell choose it. ... No soul that seriously and constantly desires joy will ever miss it.
