Craggy Wall

To dig for life’s blood to flourish from seed Roots are driven deep and cling to life in need, Burst through in glory where none can survive The drywall a challenge a world don’t deprive, A drop of moisture from lips so sweet Can life surge as root and moisture meet? You the one to give the love I flower my seed carried up above, The craggy wall no more lay stark My flower engaged within your heart. To dig for life’s blood to flourish from seed Roots are driven deep and cling to life in need entered Craig Cornish flower in the crannied wall contest 8/3/2020

Not being a Gardner and being coloured blind I probably didn’t get the whole experience. I did enjoy the insight from Joe.
