Weed Garden
Once of velvety blooms
Where color and form
Made of fragrant purpose
Kept pure the air breathed in
Until all the air
Became null and void
Where suffocation of beauty
Remanded the garden to decay
What causes beauty and purpose
To evolve to ugliness and lifeless energy?
Why does the care of a garden
Turn into but eradication of disease
Where like a beetle infestation
Strength to resist debilitation
Becomes but futile effort?
Just as a flower garden must be nurtured
Given irrigation and food for growth
So too will love disintegrate
Void of its nourishment and care
Everyone is borne of a flower garden
Whose parenting determines
Its predisposition for defending
Beauty’s precarious stand
Against the wrong kind of erosion
The manmade decay through suffocation
Of life’s breathing in and breathing out
Where seeding more misbegotten values
Flourishes

Completely different for every
individual…
all part of the human
experience to discover the ideal
nourishment and care for the
ultimate success…

Throughout history, going back as far as the hanging Gardens of Babylon, the efforts of humans to create a landscape of beauty always failed in time. While an unattended region of the Tigris and Euphrates has been described as the Garden of Eden. Weeds, if left to grow provide much more variety and food for all kinds of insects, birds and animals. They can become breathtaking in full bloom.
When we humans don't understand that we don't have to create a high maintenance garden, our relationship with someone, that relationship just naturally grows. But when we lavish attention on someone too much, they began to become dependent, or even codependent and the relationship easily fails from overindulgence. The one left to go to weed lives on and on and grows in complexity and beauty like a wild field.
