Dark Dirt

Fertile incestuous rootbound
Plants flourish in the darkest stuff
Seeds planted spring coming round
Winters' cold and snowing tough

Bulbs of flowers sprigs of weeds
Up and coming in the spring
Mother Natures' Godfelt deeds
Shoots of color when the Larks' sing

Flourish of beauty dreams of sun
Melting snow icicles hang from above
Summers' coming beaches of fun
Fires crackling moods of love

And here I lay covered in wool
Dreaming of sand and sun
Fires' flickering stomachs full
Beaches are close so is the fun.

If you have ever transplanted plants their roots are so twisted it is a mess to cut them and carefully break their bond without killing them to transplant them into fertile soil. Thank you
