Roots

of humanity
can be traced
how deeply
some are
planted -- 
there's no
way to ever
know

of spirit and
of soul; how
deep they go
or do those
roots reach up
out and beyond
time

unable to be
measured by
logic and mind

Nice idea you've presented about roots, Tameko. They don't just reach down, do they? Best wishes, Gershon
