Weeds and ScrubIn the wood behind my house, and between my house and my neighbor's house, now sits a bamboo grove. It's just an ordinarily extraordinary thing.Weeds and Scrub
My neighbor planted it because she didn't like the view of my daughter's tree house from her driveway; so she planted a bunch of bamboo stands to screen out the view.
At first I was upset about her planting it on my property without my permission. Bamboo can be such a nuisance plant. But then I just let it go and figured that if I didn't want it at some point I could just get rid of it.
Well, my daughter is completely psyched about having bamboo next

torrent rips jib's halyard free bow's plunge scatters mates death shroud on crested waves lash into hell's gaping gash on the sea
calm tempest of liquid breath views life's lingering deeds cracked splintered tiller frees thus heaven's promise sinks beneath
floating softness of sail's embrace wrapped of love's poison caress moored to angry mast's twisted scream purgatory's wait for redemption's grace
clear blue scent reawakens a soul realizing rage and fighting bliss groping to rail's lift


Love's Fire~~** Love's Fire Springs of Clover **~~Love's Fire
The world is what you think it is; Perception is selective. Dream in your world your own sweet dream; and leave the rest neglected.
The spirit is the font of life; for us it's in our care. Though others may want steal from it; for us it's always there.
So share the drink of spirit free; to all who would know love. And set aside all trivial acts; and release the peace of a dove. All clover earth's and fire's fair; in fierce and bold defiance. Cool settle in green's deep embrace;

pale peach drawn esse glimpse ivory's milk shaft knows anger's sharp bite spoke love's soft caress
delicate springs span grace heal heart hearth heath twirl tight strike swift holds love's strength safe
olive orb pale field long lash desire's whip clear seas swell shores love's rivers despair reap
cave's call rings pure hears beauty fends foul delicate
