This Is Not To Say - Louis Caraganis

[Larry Robinson]

This Is Not To Say

 
A  garden shows the care of hands, but this is not to say those hands have made it grow.

That birds will sing among the trees is not to say that trees will harbor song, and

Too, though drought withers the vine, this is not to say the Sun brings death to life.

That a person like a flower in love may bloom is not to say that love is like a flower, or

 When by candlelight two lovers burn, that’s not to say the candle is the fire.

 Thoughts may dart and school like minnows, knowing nothing of the sea,

Though this is not to say that water, mute infinity of liquid sparks,

Could not rise into a cloud to rain upon a garden, or shade the gardener’s eye.

This is not to say that thoughts are love or candlelight or song,

This is not to say a garden, or the gardener, is a cloud.
