Long have I wandered
with this sack of seeds
gathered over lifetimes
Longer still shall I continue
searching for fertile ground
in which to plant.
Occasionally I stop to
entertain a questioning mind
or overturn a cherished notion
that has run its course
I joke, I challenge, I plant a seed
staying just long enough
to see it take root.
Other times I cast seeds to the wind,
A poem left in a bar
A Chalk picture on sidewalk
A story written in spiderwebs
or interwebs
With each of these
I send a prayer
that they will land
and spread and grow
providing sustenance for many
Not every seed will thrive
nor every thought take hold
neither life nor wisdom provide that certainty
nor is every seed viable
Still I travel
with song and with seed
until I stop.
When that day comes
scatter me on the wind
Another idea
floating on the breeze

No, my friend, thank you and thanks for coming by and reading it
Not every seed will thrive
nor every thought take hold
neither life nor wisdom provide that certainty
nor is every seed viable

Thank you for reading
An ‘idea’…. and this is so very much ‘you’… presenting ideas for others to ponder.!
I’ve always loved the story of Johnny Appleseed that I grew up with…seems to me that nowadays we need more than apples planted here and there 🙂 Thanks
Seems the personality that is ‘me’ today had those same connections with things throughout my life that today are a ‘mainstay’ of who I am…. See, even now your comment has me making connections….!!! 😉
