Plant is what it is.

its interesting how different this is from the dutch version which just has two lines. It roughly states:
a plant is what it is
until it is until it is nothing

I wanted to write a poem on the Dutch side too. Never got round to it. Now I'm not so sure about the English poem. What do you think?

To Cozyowl 		I love it Cozyowl, 14 Jan 2024 04:12
I especially enjoy the metre/cadence. It is simple but very effective and is something with which I think some poets struggle.
I also really like the stanza:
''You have no control,
your words can't convey
my spirit and soul,
to file it away.''
I think it pictures the essence of feeling trapped in and breaking free of the words of others.
I also like the last two lines
''Eyes open wide,
and you're aware of me''
I debated exactly what they meant. I think the comma is important in their interpretation.

I think you got it, even more than I did, reading it back after all this time. I'll tweak it at some point. Thanks for your perspective!

It has a very different tone and affect than the other. But a very welcome difference.

The first thing to thrive is
to brush layers of dust
and cut dead ends
if you must.

Gather good soil
and fill a container
but you cannot embroil
act as coach and sustainer.

What makes your heart sing
and what fills your cup,
acts as a wellspring
makes all add up?

Share a plan
and sow your best
to sprout all you can
and please mind to rest.

The seedlings need water
and your tender care!
Be a growth-spotter
try to be there.

Allow the light
to imbue and adjust,
to grow some deep faith
of inner peace and full trust.
