A seed burrows slowly into the ground
Pressed by soil all around
Her roots extend deep below
Searching for what she needs to grow
But the soil is toxic, poisoned by criticism and negativity
So she rises to the surface and breaks free
Severing the parts she must let go
That she may find healthy soil in which to grow
Once rooted in damaging soil
She has only begun to cultivate and toil
The seed seeks sunlight, love, and authenticity
Embracing the gifts of life, she nestles into positivity
Now surrounded by light and nurturing
Roots descend, stretch, and cling
This soil feels as pure as a mountain stream
The seed opens and allows herself to dream
Though leaving hurt and it took time to find a place she could survive
Uprooting was what she needed to grow, surface, and thrive
About the Creator

I grew up in a small town in Oregon. In 2nd grade (circa 1984), I was entered into a poetry contest. I won 3rd place and was awarded a small check and a certificate signed by President George Bush Sr. I have been writing ever since.
Rachel Reviews: The Spiral Archive by Pieter Hendrik
It's difficult for me to know where to start with a review of this book as it was, for me, an entirely unique experience and one that I'll probably never have again. I don't want that to be interpreted as unenjoyable but it has left me scratching my head a little and ruminating on its content, its themes and its characters.
