Fate of the Pluot

You and I, we were unalike, embedded into the earth, so far from each other. My roots grew independently and strong, as yours, grew to be smothered. As time went on our stocks matured and grew, to extend such a great distance. Our roads trekked in contrasting directions, that channeled us to coexistence. Fate cannot be discouraged nor fought by mortals, a lesson learned not forgot. As different as an Apricot is to a Plum, together we can make a Pluot.
