Branches, Trees, Fruits, Roots and Seeds

in a shell full of potential

Branches, Trees, Fruits, Roots and Seeds

Carried by the breeze,

Fluffy but tough

Like a dandelion seed;

Stability

had never been a luxury

or guarantee.

And though my roots were weak,

I landed & planted

with intent to grow into a tree.

...

Full of potential

inside my shell,

knowing growth was exponential,

acorns make mighty oaks

but staying grounded’s essential.

And it turns out,

dirt’s

the perfect surface

for learning

your worth.

Humbling

but comforting

in the bust of Gaia,

being nourished by

Mother Earth—

And it’s a reminder to stay thirsty.

...

Drink up all the knowledge

in the rain water

that falls

from the heavenly father—

And reach for the stars

Or even farther.

...

And be prepared

because there

you'll bear

the fruit of your future.
