When Roots Touch The Sky

Young roots grab the Earth
Connected plants in same soil
Trimmed and well anchored

🌱🌿🌎✨🌳

New roots stretch to sky
Their hands reach for door slammed shut.
Pull beyond comfort.

🌳🌤️🌿🌱💫

Roots and branches meet
Pull and reach with combined strength.
Fight to reach and grow.

🌿🌞🌳💪🌱

Roots grow with branches anchor.
Only when melded.

🌳💫🌱🌿🌤️
