truer words were never spoken. the innocence of kids is a wonder to behold, and shines out from their fresh and beautiful faces, until the world starts polluting their impressionable minds

Soman Ragavan said:
It is indeed strange how unwanted weeds wield such power, such strength. (Hello ! Four W\'s here : alliteration kicked in by itself....) They are bent on frustrating us. Whereas good, useful stuff we plant needs care and water, weeds thrive on nothing; they survive even drought or floods. Even when they disappear, they will reappear at some stage, as if by magic. They push out what we planted, what we need. When a plot of land is abandoned, weeds start taking over the place. The vegetable kingdom is amazing. Plants that start small and fragile end up splitting concrete, rocks....
\"...the rock that is not split with the long iron crowbar, splits when the roots of a tender shrub enter it.\" --(Ed) T. B. Krishnaswami : “TEN TAMIL ETHICS.” Madras, India : The South India Saiva Sidhanta Works Publishing Society, 1937. Full acknowledgements are made to the authors, publishers and rights-holders.
Tender-looking leaves weave their way through asphalt and gaps in concrete and come up to see the light of day. Little by little they will end up spitting the harder stuff.

Soren, you have crafted a deeply meaningful piece that resonates with me. I see it as a message to not let the negative get hold of your mind. I enjoyed reading it and absorbing its message.

Quite the goddess, Aphrodite. This is a powerful poem that, as I read it, speaks of resilience and strength, and a longing for someone who made quite a life long, loving impact. Well done, friend. 🌹👏

Oak stands tall in gale and storm,
No tearing down what’s weather-worn.
The flame still flickers in the night—
A name we whisper, holds us tight.

I love the line : \"Defeating dragons, they fly where no one dies.\"
It, to me, signifies strongly that state of nostalgia or memory that never dies. It\'s with us forever. Like captured in time, almost. I\'m not finding the right words to explain what I mean, sorry 😂
Beautifully written, thanks for sharing your talent with the world!

SB, always the greatest threat to my gardening skills. I hate weeds. I pull them out and squirt in some weed killer, and they still come back with a friend.

This, my friend, is both true literally and a brilliant metaphor for the mind. O, it really works well as a metaphor for a number of things. Brilliant. Instant fave. 🌹👏

Many\'s the time down on my hands and knees pulling up these accursed plants - and they just kept sprouting to no end. Invaders, indeed. A keen gardener/poet wrote this one. Well cultivated, Soren.
Do take care now,
Tony.

Made me think back on the tiring work of weeding my own gardens or beds. Yet for all the back breaking work, there is the produce, the bloom, the beauty. Unfortunately, one can only admire it for but a moment, then must be back to the work of tending it, lest it be overgrown. Thank You, Soren.
