growing roots

Growing roots

Underneath the apparent world

Connected to none 

And yet to all

An evolutionary mind

Weaving and braiding

Through all our lifetimes 

All our little futures 

And pasts and presents

Untouched by the world;

It lives inside of us, me and you;

And we learn and grow 

As trees untouched in a forest,

Being allowed to breathe 

To learn from each other 

And live our lives 

Side by side 

Hand in hand

Open to change

To possibility 

To love and life 

But always together.
