Plants and Planets II You are so young, my son,
As you reach out far towards the sun.

I sit here withered, wretched in reach,
Without a leaf.
As you be all of the brightest green
And can be seen
Deep from the pastures,
From the villages, and from the vineyards.

You may not know
Each leaf will fall, in the fall,
But you will not lose them all.
As from that seedling, you have grown so very tall.

Someday soon, as tall as I,
From gathered raindrops, teardrops of the sky.
As those who weep upon you, will shed you with new birth.
You shall be watched by those for all your greatness and your girth.
But for who, and why?
Will someone destroy thee?

Is that someone, I ask, with a razor-edged axe?
So many that live with a mind so lax.

Not to realize what they've done until after it's gone.
And realize too late, that their intentions were wrong.

We sometimes must hide the forbidden that's taken with greed.
And live out our life, to produce a new seed.
One that can go on in its perilous plight.
This journey must be done, and we must learn to avoid a fight.

For all of us must give and learn as much as we can.
So we learn how to live with the unacknowledged man.

Writer Profile
Timothy G. Branfalt Sr.


We are all within each other. When that is realized, our prejudice and communication interference will be that of telepathic communication. We will be one with each other and one with the world. These bodies are only temporary forms that keep us restricted from our own heavenly place.
It is only a temporary restriction, especially upon those who intend to use their "physical attributes" with just the selfish, social advancement of themselves.
If this world had started to gain acceptance and understanding of all problematic errors within, we may have been able to share these "advancements" with our brothers and sisters, who are NOW--not later--in danger, not from the immediate natural disasters, but of those that will not surrender the help they need to overcome their immediate handicaps.
The ones of unshared power with food, shelter, clothing, and then to add the militia.
The militia could have been justified, if its intentions were there for the less fortunate, not to take more from the unfortunate.
I live on my lifelong work of gathering a pension, which is paid back to me only due to many years of work. Others work hard, and see nothing. All I have to Always say is "Me casa, es Su casa!", Mucho Amore e "Pura Vida!"
