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
