The Art of Giving

A leaf, a root Anchors of life in two different worlds Each working towards sustenance of a deity The genesis of their life Their synergy, assurance of concord Amid discord of simultaneous loss and gain The root relentlessly searches underground for life to sustain its kindred The beneficiary opens its watery eye to lose the priceless treasure, Hard earned life droplets at the nature’s pressure The scorching sun presses for ransom, for its purportedly precious Rays, not carefree given but in exchange for dozens of scarce moisture Baking the leafy green’s beauty into ounces of energy The deity sacrifices one life, just to replenish with more of its kind The fortified anchors below beckons for more, Feeding on the efforts of their late kinsman, Rousing their heads curiosity to just dig more, Travel more and network more to prove the worth of the faded talisman The kingdom rejoices at the birth of infant foliage, A clear sign of effort and strength of the underground army So, the daring and vigor of the vulnerable yet strong Both make vitality of the deity
