Beneath this earth
My roots abide
They hold me firm
through every tide
š£š±š£š±š£š±š£š±š£š±š£š±š£š±š£š±š£
Through storms that bend
Through winds that sway
They ground my heart
and light my way

Each branch extends
A path to take
Each chance... each risk...
Each choice I make

Upon those limbs
the leaves appear
Opportunities that draw me near

Yet, sweeter still...
the blossoms grow
My babies laughter
Their hearts. Their glow.

Each fruit that ripens
Each bloom that shines
is love eternal
A gift, divine.

Gorgeously-penned Sara! š«¶š¾š
Oh what a lovely photo. You chose the right angle. Makes it look like it was from another planet. Even as though it was part of a dream... Feels like a memory. Nostalgic. I like the aesthetics. Wait are those trees, branches ā twigs š²š„°šš¾ A sweet song. Love the rhymes. You became the tree. Bend Sway Heart Way I like the combo of hard and soft sounding words here.
Very nice!
Well-wrought! The final lines evoke the delightful feeling of relief upon stretching the body, and also the best connotations of hope.
A lovely and inspiring piece that leaves the reader feeling hopeful and grounded, Wonderful work.
This was sooooo profound and beautifully written. Loved your poem!
