Tree

 Encasing in muddy warmth 

Nourishing in her essence

Earth whispers a secret 

A sprout emerges hence


Seed, is seed no more

To change, it deems compliance

Tender stem , cotyledons

Attempt at self reliance


Higher and higher, up and out 

Shoots aspire to sky

Roots go deeper inside

Yearning for primal why


Branches flowers buds and leaves

Do they exist for a reason?

Such bounty from just a seed!

A new show every season!


Summers bedeck with boons

Heavy enough to share

To wither and drop at the altar

In Winters that strip bare


Through ecstasy and despair

Quietude and strife

Whispered again is the secret

Into new seeds of life
