pot plants

arqios


Notice of absence from arqios
πŸ•Š πŸ™πŸ»πŸ•ŠοΈ

πŸͺ΄ 

hapless indulgences
animated silences
quiver

πŸͺ΄ 

hankered imagination
ambiguous synapses
quibble

πŸͺ΄ 

each way you turn
each thought you churn
new lessons learn

πŸͺ΄ 

potted flower plants
line your driveway
mind you don't crush them

πŸͺ΄

    Be careful where you let your mind wander, enjoyed the read

      Thank you so much. The wandering mind can be as dangerous as a distracted mindπŸ™πŸ»πŸ•ŠοΈ

        You are very welcome

      • sorenbarrett

        Clever play on words creating expectations that are not met but instead unjustified beliefs become something else. I see this a second level metaphor and message to be careful what you think for it may well be something else. Enjoyed this one

          It’s quite satisfying when these metaphors are uncovered. Thanks SorenπŸ™πŸ»πŸ•ŠοΈ

            Some get it, some don’t; a few are on a tangent of their own.

          • Tristan Robert Lange

            The mind is a long-twisted path...and when one wanders...beware crushing the potted flowers indeed. Well done on this, my friend. And excellent metaphor! πŸŒΉπŸ‘

                  There's a subtle depth in these disarmingly light yet eloquent stanzas, the conclusion too perfect thereby. Charming. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.
