General

Life finds itself to grow without any interference, without any help,

A creeper finds its hold amongst many trees and shrubs around,

Trees laden with fruits grow into trees again,

I am not languishing,

I am dormant,

If not eaten by a squirrel, pigeon, sparrow or man,

I shall grow into a plant again,

Till such time,

My fruits in lap of nature,

A part of creation, as special as creation itself,

I am not languishing, I am dormant.

Green Tomato Plant:

“Juicy tomatoes thrive in the Northwest, first as green goblins, then as love fruit.” (Glenn A. Buttkus)

I’m not languishing, I’m dormant

Not shimmering but limp

Hollow feeling without warning

Please don’t call me a wimp

One day I’ll wake up and meander

Act and never a bystander

One day I’ll wake

One day I’ll wake

Flourish and lace with my candour

I’m not languishing, I’m dormant

All things transpire, I’m blue

Some sweet carress in the morning

Of course, with coffee brew

Stow away the hurt and pain

And with that, no need to explain

Stow away

Stow away

I’ll be up and as bright as rain

I’m not languishing, I’m dormant

Just having a breather

Just wait for one day life’s soaring

And of course a pleasure

Be patient and we’re rewarded

Problems and hindrances sorted

Be patient

Be patient

Garden full of rose and orchid*

I’m not languishing 

I am dormant 

I am waiting for my time toemerge

Till then I conserve my energy 



Why waste my talent on the unappreciative 

My time hasn’t arrived as yet
So I’ll wait

I wait till the circumstances are just perfect 


Then I will bloom

And then the world will be held spellbound

I’m not languishing, I’m dormant, but very soon since I have gotten both of my Covid injections, I plan to get on with my life again.  All of the masking and social distancing was miserable and I had to neglect doing many things that I love.  Now that I have wakened from my sleep caused by the pandemic, my life has taken on new meaning for me and I plan to flourish.  I have been cautiously biding my time, nurturing new ideas, and waiting for the good times to roll again.  I look back at the lockdowns as a method that recharged my batteries, so now it is time for the winter of my discontent to be over.  I had been conserving my energy, but I’m no longer lying in wait.  If something interesting comes along, I’ll pounce on it, like the cat that I am.
