Herb Robert (Geranium Robertianum)

i so encourage this  wee

soul

so shallow rooted,   she

feminine ruled by Venus

Has Water energy

fertility and  health and love

Protection at her core

magically charged

to ascertain

which direction

strangers reach

before one’s door

its pink flowers

make love potions

under the rule of five

five leaflets  of the calyx

five each furrowed  germ

five graceful stigma’s

five slender styles long term

found where it  is welcomed

waysides ditches where

little soil is needed

On vast waste ground can share

it has such powerful healing

powerful against the stone

the gravel

and in bleeding

for centurues was known

now its seen as invasive

and is sprayed and tossed about

ignorance is tragically

creating so much doubt

this plant

has a long history

miraculously so

effective against ulcers

And where ever they  may show

it’s picked up lots of

different names

the  banded carpet moth takes heed

A nectar source in its wondrous way

riches gifted to us all

and nothing do we  have to pay.

which in the countryside

can be a good omen

such an important soul

and an anti inflammatory

a perfectly wondrous role.

a delicate flower with pungent foliage

an exploding pod expressing seed

crushed leaves act as an insect repellent

reaching  the parts

soothing and healing

which  becomes a simply stunning tea.
