Land of Mind

Ray Moonee

In fertile soil,
A flower of hope
Was sown by love.

It grew with care,
Yet burned by the very hands
Meant to protect with might.

Is it the flower’s mistake,
Or the land’s fault?

  • Comment from author about the poem: Even a flower of hope can be burned by the hands that planted it… “Land of Mind” grew out of a thought: when something born of love withers, is it the seed’s fault, the soil’s, or the hands that tend it? This poem is my way of exploring that question — about hopes, dreams and relationships that get hurt by the very care meant to protect them.
