Brooke was always a strange child. She loved the outdoors and spent all her time out there, but she always watched the garden. The neglected garden where plants grew wildly as they pleased, its wooden borders cracked and splintered by rain and weeds. If her parents cared to guess why she did this, they’d assume she was looking at bugs or whatever children tend to like. But they didn’t guess. They ...

yin wood green

fragile and fleet

resilient with time

easy to keep

able to root

able to bud

able to creep, crawl and climb

toward the generous sun...

“Wherever there is light, the flowers will find it”

The old woman told me

She was sat surrounded by cigarette buts

The ashtray overflowing like

a childs eyes welled with tears

Her dressing gown burnt and singed

With years of letting the ash fall

Purposefully grey

with white spots

“Yeah right”

I think

“Well that’s just lovely.”

I say

Disbelief haunting my voice

I walk on.

She muses over time ...

Just because a flower withers,

Doesn't mean it's going to fade.

Like a flower, you're withering everyday,

You think it's meant to be that way.

Well, just so you know,

Wherever there is dark,

The moonlight will glow.

Wherever there is light,

The flowers will find it.

Sunsets-finally, it's quiet,

The moonlight hits a rose,

A flower on a gravestone,

Sinking into the darkness,

Soaking up th...

In the darkness it begins

A seed that fell

But light will win

Inside colors of pastel

In the ground a sprout

Weak and humble

But not single doubt

Even in the stumble

It has one thought

Only one purpose

It searched it sought

Until it found the serface

Green leaf popped out

Delighted by the sun

It felt like it could shout

It stretched and spun

Over years others grew

Up they went to cover li...

Matthew always had a green thumb; he could grow a tree from a stick. He had been looking for a new challenge when he found an ad on the internet for a person to take care of their flowers. He was intrigued and called the number on the bottom of the ad. 

An elderly woman answered, and Matthew said, “I saw your ad in the paper and was interested in what taking care of the flowers entailed.”, “The f...

Flowers dont care what you happen to wear today.

They certainly don’t worry about the state of your hair today.

Flowers dont stop growing because a ‘friend’ did you wrong;

They continue to flourish, saying “Look, life goes on.”

When hope feels small & you’ve feelings of sorrow,

Plant a seed, watch it grow & believe in tomorrow!

Another thing I’ve learned from my lonely pit,

Wherever there is ...

Sometimes the world seems dark,

Like there is nothing but gloom,

Finding a way out is no walk in the park,

But only where there is light

Will you see flowers bloom.

Wherever there is light,

The flowers will find it.

While you are trying to fight

Against the darkness of the pit

You are in,

The flowers, they know,

They know not to fight

The dark, but to

Instead search for the light.

So when you ...

_It’s so cold._

_It’s so very cold._

_I can’t see._

_I am blind._

_Where did the colours go?_

_What force took my vision?_

_I can’t see you any more._

_I can’t see your face._

_I can’t hear your voice._

_I can’t feel your tender touch, telling me it’s okay._

_Where did you go, love?_

_Did I do something wrong?_

_I can’t live with myself if I did something wrong._
