You Can Imagine How Happy I Was

You can imagine
how happy I was
to find you blooming here
because
your roots are crowded
and so is your crown
and blooming now
in this little town,
is a long, long way
from your favoured place
with rainforests, heat and no frost at all
but here you are growing tall…….

Your tones of yellow are creamy and golden
and the honeyeaters love you
like I do,
so every year I welcome you,
if only one flower comes to bloom
in my meditation corner, of the garden room.
And whatever your message to me today
I will listen now, to what you say……..

Go forward, not back,
no need
to venture yet along that track.
Keep writing, keep typing
and blogging new posts
and focus on ones
you value the most……
I will probably agree,
that ‘Fully Faithfully”,
needs more momentum
with this content to grow
as a Blogspot that many will visit,
and show
there’s an interest
in writing the thoughts of some plants,
or hoping you’ll come
to further enhance
the acceptance of nature spirits,
as this,
is for only a few,
but we know you value all that we do……
So Bee is it time?
to let this just sit?
You post to blogs:
Come Blossom Come Fruit
and Pink Love Shining,
each day or two,
so we will bring
new messages to you.

Gift from the Honeysuckle


This flower offers scent to you

When Comes Our Time

Oh look at you first Jasmine bloom
Oh joy your fragrance fills my room,
as blue skies are bright outside
and nothing dead
ever dies…….

Well you may say
that’s just not true
but if you do
then all I say
is, that I am thinking
another way.

Even if my garden plant
looked as dead as dead plants do,
there would be life
somewhere in nature
composting roots, or picnicking
on the tune the old plant sings….

I indeed was very sad
burying my hound in her grave,
wrapped up sweet
with tucked in feet.
I wept to think of cold, cold nights
and when the rain fell on the mulch
I wished she was still alive
and knowing she
was on, the other side
I let her go
as a friend did say
“Happy the dead the rain, rains on”,
and I felt better, becoming strong.

You see, we have our time
and we share our life
and maybe sooner, maybe not,
maybe later, maybe not
there may come our time to leave this plane
and travel on to ‘we know not what’
but let’s believe it’s a picnic spot,
a beautiful place to rest a while
and remember our loves
and send them smiles….

So did Jasmine tell you this today?
or was that red leaf having a say
as you pottered around amongst the flowers
talking to beetles and ‘ducking’ the showers.

Well the red leaf looked very bedraggled
and not a perfect specimen,
but you picked it up
and then you knew
it had a message,
a message for you.

So little Eucalyptus leaf
you’ve been blown here from far, far away
and what I hear you now say
is, “whatever the life,
whatever you do
the only way to know yourself
is be grateful for all the lessons you learn
and remember dear soul
when it is your turn,
there is no place to ever fear
as love permeates into every sphere
and never is a soul alone
always a welcome, coming home”.
