Grow

The root is always the beginning
the impetus, the spark,
the place where breath
becomes life
Growing deep into the earth
fed, enriched,
strengthened over time
to sustain and live on
Thickened, through the core
the heartbeat, the lifeblood
reaching outward, upward
into the vast expanse
Possibility is endless
and the evidence of this
is reinforced on the canvas of
deep cerulean blue
Limbs stretch, testing limits,
learning where, how far,
how high they can ascend,
distance from the earth
Wavering from time to time
as the wind caresses,
and the sun and the rain
alternately and collectively feed
Only in the deep, dark
quiet still of night
can sounds be heard
in the silence
Again, back to the root
burrowing deep into the soul
from reaching up, to stretching below
the complete connection...
to life~
