Can't touch life with words

Xenoglossy is my place in my family tree

A very curious place to be

Somewhere along the way of learning

I dropped some spices

I settled

So, looking for barberry, khmeli suneli

and some dance

dance

Friends will always exchange

potted plants

Every time I fill an ewer 

I am reminded of the other

a sweet warm hug

Lovers should send fresh-cut bouquets

to remind of every breath

that is unreturnable

every moment that is alove

to remind me where I need

to grow, change, or come back

to myself

To go together to countries

where flowers come from

To dream to be forever

through all the worlds

"Giving you flowers is the great gift of life."

I find myself a little sad

growing out of the old

Not missing it

because, like Princess says,

to miss is such a gift to give

for it requires love
