Poem of the week: WASTED FLOWERS by James C. Floyd
27 July, 2010
WASTED FLOWERS
GIVE me no flowers or undue praise
because at last I've come to the end of these days, let no tears of sadness streak your face because we're apart for a while; know that now I reside in a better place, and let that knowledge bring forth a smile.
Your tears belong to this world of mortals who've forgotten how to even pray, the ones who pursue material nothings from day to wasteful day.
Weep for the newborn child
who has yet to visit the places I've been and try to find the peace I've found before you too, leave this world of women and men.
Peace,
James C. Floyd
(The Jefferson Street Poet)

I was inclined to tell the Jim Wilson story to a fellow juicer recently, This guy is an inspiring character and I see his inpirees all over the place. That he is returning to NZ is a great benefit to the nation.
