First the Video Message followed by a poem really saying the same thing poetically .
The poem is by my friend John Stevens and originated here on his blog .
The poem Flowers in full below todays Word as Seed message .
Flowers
You stand there with half-flowers
Hidden behind your back
One eye glistening, the other
Flooded with immeasurable joy
Whilst I fuss and chatter
Battering you with
Requests I think you’d
Like to grant me
Exhausted by your silence
Eventually
After decades
I stop talking
And look up
And see your glistening eye
And the other, an ocean
For me to swim in
Only then can you surprise me,
A man, with flowers, half-flowers
Dressed in colours I’d never seen
Some already gone to seed
You hold them out to me
Silent me. Before I take them
I close my eyes and bask
In scents from another world
Then, I take the flowers
And wonder about the seeds?
And finally, I know
What lies there, behind your eyes
