Seedlings of Lies


Poem Artwork

Trust was darkened
by deceitful seeds
planted deep within
from a jealous heart.

I watched its growth,
its roots dug deeper
into moisten soil
washed with tainted rain.

Days passed with silent
rays of hope,
that the gardener
would see it for what is was,

a bed of lies……

to be pluck by its roots
hung to dry, till rot,
until it dissipates
to particles of lost thoughts.

Copyright 2003 Tracey L. Hardie

Sometimes we do not know what is sown until it springs forth and grows.

what a great concept......personally, weeds are only unwanted items in our lives, some of us can tolerate them some cant...some need to stamp on it before it takes over....
Great thoughts Tracey.

Tracey,
Very dark and strong write! You have described the set the mood jealousy from someone else, or ourselves can put us into perfectly!

Hugs,
Maria

Seems we don't take the time to weed our gardens these days. A little maintenance each spring can save us a year full of clawing through the dirt. Dirty nails tell our tales.
