Beautiful flowers give rise to immaculate buds,
Just as immaculate buds give rise to beautiful flowers.

Rise sweetheart-
Feel the sunlight warm the tips of your petals,
But do not forget your roots-
.
.
.
The water drips down to the very heart of it all,
But it is not whole.
Forget the water and you forget the process-
Forget the process and you forget the past-
Forget the past and you forget-

Just as the flower rises,
The man will rise.

Just as the flower falls,
The man will fall.

It is not the duration of this phase that matters,
But rather-
Its impact.

- Real1ty
God bless the dead

Just as the flower rises,
The man will rise.

Just as the flower falls,
The man will fall.


i like the buddha zen feeling of these words....lovely...miss k

if you didn't define yourself for yourself you'd be crunched into other peoples fantasies of you an eaten alive.

Thank you for the kind words. I was trying for a natural zen like feeling so I'm glad it came across that way.

Who slept on this one...pure poetic genuis, understated, yet creeping up on the mind with a strong impact... and lovely....I love it...

Can it be I stayed away too long?/
Did I leave your mind when I was gone?/
It's not my thing trying to get back/
But this time let me tell you where I'm at-- Jackson Five

wow....that was simply beautiful

It is not the duration of this phase that matters,
But rather-
Its impact.


I love that line....
and this piece..

the peacefulness to it as well as the simplicity is truly a breath of fresh air. my favorite lines are:

But it is not whole.
Forget the water and you forget the process-
Forget the process and you forget the past-
Forget the past and you forget-

Just as the flower rises,
The man will rise.

Just as the flower falls,
The man will fall.
