This is a nine word poem for Arwen. Here are the nine words which inspired it: Bind ~ Innocent ~ Where ~ Intend ~ Compel ~ Rift ~ Late ~ Real ~ Find
Bindweed
Late in summer turned to autumn musing deep I stand
Before the glories’ green and twining creep upon the land
Where once twas nothing now the vibrance does the drifting gaze compel
Where once twas barren now exub’rant life twines out its spell
You may seek but never find the real authentic meaning in the world
The rift can only ever bind twixt leaf and bud unfurled
And innocent though twining bud may look to passing eyes
If you intend to see the truth in weeds that men despise
Look deeper yet, a purpose find within this burgeoning life
This earth which welcomes root and seed
Which answers every gardener’s need
Which takes the cut yet does not bleed
This earth which shelters bud and vine
To an ancient vast design
To a purpose undivined
Look deeper yet, a purpose find and mend the rift within
