Healing Ellie

I met you hollow as the bones of sun scorched trees with roots upturned Worn to smoothness, polished grey I met you when you'd less to say But time and temperance green the ground by pushing growth and sticking 'round The seeds which scattered, dormant, light in a gust of wind and time, took flight They settled with your words and grew with limbs of strength, they became you And soon you laughed and bloomed in pink and unwrapped time as a gift to think Soon, your roots entwined the earth You opened your arms to a million birds and swayed in the wind to their favorite tune as you etched them into your friend, the moon Now you speak as all nature does with a heart full of passion that's rooted in love Each limb of growth reaching into the wind Your words are a healing, You're on the mend...
