FROM THE SHOOTS TO THE ROOTS

The sky cried, tears falling
and tapping on the pane
I am warm and comfortable inside
Nurtured and protected
from the summer rain.
A flurry of wind, and
here it comes again!

Flowers opened rejoicing
Giving succour to their blooms
Down through the stems and shoots
Flowing deeper into their roots
plants in perfect balance
reaching into mother earth,
Discovering something of worth to cling on
Absorbing energy steady and strong.
