'Golden Roots' ~*~Impression of ' life's garden ' ~*~

~*~ Golden Roots ~*~ by Darmok 1-23-02 I've felt like this way too often. My emotions, my cup empty... and what a friggen thirst to bear for so long, an empty vessel. The loneliness of my desert is somewhat self imposed I will admit. I purposely isolate my heart from anything but my own tears. I await the gardner that never comes, never again to touch this life, the love that was planted there. Weeds and stones, rot for worms to seek and eat.... I am blessed that I feed something.....yes? what I have found tho, as have you. That in this wasteland of dried and shadeless toil, the soil will reap what is sewn, the words of my heart, the golden yellow shades of distant bells, hung from rings of gold. From within I will bring a garden full of verse. Golden roots which only hearts can consume, and bear the weight and vision of these treasures. So in my dessert days of want, I will sustain myself on things planted within my heart, and offered here for all too share, to eat, to drink, become a part."Life's Garden" is written by Tigerlilly. This poem came to be after reading her lovely verse. I invite you to seek and find it within your heart as well. PS. some of these may sound a bit melancholy, but the sentiment is not as heavy as it sounds, that is, I am drawing from memory and empathy of things I sometimes read herein. Recalling similar days of thirst, emptiness....and so I pen a verse. I'm a happy father, that's important to me; personal satisfaction is a bit dry..but there is a time for planting .............
