(Thanks to all of you who kindly gave comments and suggestions for the title! I digested everything, and this title emerged!) 

 

 There are some stories buried

So deeply

Embedded in silence

 past skin, into mucosa,

and through and through the gut

That they can not emerge

except as seeds

that one day fruit.

The Inside Story? Nah...kidding. How about:

The Blossoming Inner Bud

Smiling... it has potential, Ron! Thanks!

Maybe, What grows from within?

I love it, it says so much about everyone. Your article, not my title
Dannielle S. Apr 4, 2007, 11:35pm EDT
Debbie, I'd call it Patience.
Debbie G. Apr 4, 2007, 11:56pm EDT
Thanks Susan. I'm glad you liked it.

Dannielle, I like that and may use some variation of it. Thanks!

Rebirth??? I'm not real good with poetry though.

Very interesting exposition on the cycle of life -- which hopefully will perk up one of these days! I pity those poor buds having to endure last night's 45 mph winds, and today's weather in the twenties! Not to mention the robins. Let's hope this poem re-christens spring and brings it back to full warm blossom!

short and meaningful....
Cecile V. Apr 5, 2007, 12:33am EDT
I go for the simple - Fruit!
Debbie G. Apr 5, 2007, 12:51am EDT
All good ideas! I am enjoying the comments! Thanks so much!

Resurrection. ;-)

Nice poem.
Dannielle S. Apr 5, 2007, 10:24am EDT
Came back to read it again today, Debbie -- it's one of those things worth reading more than once.
Debbie G. Apr 5, 2007, 10:27am EDT
dm, thank you! I'm glad you like it.

Dannielle, what a compliment. Thank You!

How about "Grace".
How about "Disseminated Aphasia" as a title? or "Disseminated Amnesia" The dissemination part plays on the seed idea, and the rebirth of the memories through spreading them around.

Forbidden Fruit.
Virginia M. Apr 5, 2007, 7:41pm EDT
"Secrets Borne" .....?????????
Tonia, who hugs trees G. Apr 6, 2007, 10:23pm EDT
So many great suggestions for another thought provoking offering. I like the concept of resurrection that seems to infuse this.

Metamorphosis? I got so tied up in it I read it five or six times, it really strikes a good chord. 10
Carol Lloyd Apr 10, 2007, 7:59pm EDT
