Mind your garden... - Ray1990 - 10-27-2024
The mind is like a garden, a place where things can grow. A place where one can propagate and nurture all you know.
At times you’ll raise a beauty worthy of sharing all around, in others a monster; yet would you burn it to the ground?
So whatever you pull out of the nursery take care to ensure it’s sound, the last thing a gardener should show off is all the weeds they have around.
Seeds to spread? Rhizomes of dread? Please keep them to yourself. Those cuttings are akin to tumours for a budding gardener’s health.
Their subconscious is a nursery and minds can be a garden, yet your vines infect their ground, parched; beginning to harden.
Horrors in their garden, grown from spit and spite... Ruining the youth? It’s never a pretty sight.
Spread seeds of hope, gift cuttings of joy with faith that they can grow. Since places of peace are something we need and should be something we know.

Long may people find peace in their gardens.

Peace is hard work!
I miss having nettles in my garden personally, something to re-wild in the future.
Yeah it was a fun analogy and theme to run with, not sure I did it justice looking back since I wanted a happy poem but it turned a bit foreboding, something to work on I guess!

Your garden is a beautiful regrowth of life! Nice story!
