Ideas pop and sprout like
flowers from spring soil
with no need for seasons,
sunshine or rain ~
ideas merely need attention
recognition of their worth
And yet
some only seem worthy of
a brief hello
a wave goodbye
a nod, a smile and then passing by
And some
climb chaotically
beautiful in their lushness
while smothering fruits and flowers
Some beautiful ideas yield
fruits for action and change,
creations of progress ~
growth for new roads to explore
Spent with the energy of growth
bolting from leaf to seeds ~
seeds thrown into the soil
await new ideas to pop and sprout
Choked out by weedy ideas
to wither, dry and die
ideas crumble into the soil
composting til the time is right
Ideas come from us all
to pop, sprout and grow ~
to shape our homes and families
to build our societies and cultures
with satisfaction in the wonder of our ideas.
“Ideas won’t keep; something must be done about them.”
~ Alfred North Whitehead
