When Will We Grow Together
it started with a seed
discarded and forgotten
in the dark and moist soil
sprouted sapling
roots
deep within the earth
searching for water
absorbing the metallic
and periodical
limbs
reaching for the clouds
inhabiting the sky
without feathers
leaves
symbiotic with the atmosphere
breathing and transforming
the hothouse to a haven
the foundation of an ecosystem
biodiversity and placid contemplation
you and me
all that has been created
but I wonder
when will we grow together
