Clouds release winter memories
While gale force winds
Uproot sunshine desires
Like shallow rooted trees

Aspens reaching skeletal fingers skyward
Grow the ancient boreal midnight mountain
reaching rooted primacy given taken
glorious prayer

Tendrils,
Twisted, reaching,
Sun-warmed leaves, fruit hangs ripe,
Man's patient and yielding journey,
Vineyard.

Waiting For You In August

It’s not thirst I fear, 
but the way the sun’s course sweeps 
shadows, everything
flows downhill, and how I wait
rooted here without water.

Roots of Fortitude

My 
kindness
is not 
niceness
but I know that
I am the truth
because I belong
to an eternally
growing and
deeply 
rooted
family tree.

these things. 
themes. 
sounds. 
and simple symbols. 
ruthless. 
yet rooted. 
interwoven and deeply rooted. 
I'm inspired by these things.

Premium Member Do Not Mind Me

O the irony
the pathos
ingenuity
of the mind:
a life force
to engage
restless
rooted,
a curious hinge
hyphened

Beloved Botanist

With tender care
you planted a seed
and your concern is rooted deep;
Now my faith grows
with strength and speed,
eradicating
each variant weed.

Daffodils

Wet dry daffodils
           Deeply rooted in water
           Sunken by full drought

Premium Member Rose-bush blooms

Rose-bush blooms, sky's canvas vast,
petals open, close, a sigh.
He, a silent, steady,
rooted presence, watching nigh.
Love, a quiet, lasting bloom.

Find You There

Stay with those ghosts you know. Do not ever dream or think to go. Pray to that God deep rooted in your mind - seek you there and find.

Roots

Dark.
Seed sleeps.
A flicker.
A crack.
A shoot.
Up to the head.
Out through the eyes.
Down through the feet.
Into soil.
Rooted.
How does it feel?

Premium Member Blessings where least expected

Rooted in muddy stagnant waters.
Suddenly up blooms the most pure lily.
Reminder to never judge harshly.

My My

My My
and tsk tsk
for the task

selfishness
lives in me
growing in the lines
rooted deep

stretching far
beyond imagined

My My
and
Mine Mine.

a dandelion
defying the pesticides
mocks the suns brilliance

valiant warriors
salutations to the sun
rooted in the now
