LIFE

Soil gently brushed to the sides,

The seed plunges into the freshly made caverns,

Midday approaches with the sun high in the sky,

Clouds dance around it only allowing momentary relief,

As the pot finds its new place, spring showers bestow a home warming gift,

The parts are now in motion, and life is ready to undertake an exciting journey,

Days pass, the roots have set and a fragile stalk powers past the segregated earth,

 As weeks are left behind the stalk becomes strong, reaching towards the heavens,

Now barley a foot tall, the days are cut short,

Leaves morph from elegant green to magnificent shades of warmth as the temperature cools,

A fitting encore before the silence of white befalls the lands & lakes,

Snowflakes gracefully sail the currents of the northern winds, in mass formations until spring begins,

Not capable to survive the winter alone,

A new home is found in front of the bay window,

Skys often gray, stunting the adventure of life, but your persistent and find a way,

Almost a year has come & gone since you left my hands & burrowed your way into the soft sands,

Blue pushes grey aside, as life and color return to the sky,

Standing in awe at the success of your story,

Time cruel as it is, has its own agenda, & insists we must once again part ways,

Reaching new heights, branching out flowers bloom that demands attention from all,

I have been with you every step, every day,

Maturing with elegance and beauty,

It’s time to release you into the wild,

My love for you runs deep, letting you go will not be easy,

Envisioning a place, for you to spend the rest of your days, where many come by, they stop and gasp as you catch their eye,

Remembering the soil gently pushed aside,

As the tree plunges in to the freshly made caverns,

My part is over as your life begins, an exciting journey,

Reach past the clouds, beyond the diamonds in the sky,

We’ll be together again one day, as my life passes by,

The soil gently pushed aside,

I’ll plunge into the freshly made caverns,

My part was never over, and we are one, growing together, our life begins, an exciting journey.

My pleasure

A fine and comprehensive description of plant life and the cycle of life in general how we are all connected by life and in death. There is a very clear passage of time, from minutes to days, weeks, months and years and so it carries the reader down a linear path which is a great contrast in the scope of the cyclical nature of life. Good job. There is one typo here though, "Skis often gray"

[Electric Scribe]

Thanks for the read. It brings great joy to know that even the structure stood out. Awesome job catching the typo, it is already fixed. Have a stellar day. =)

You too friend, peace.

I really liked this write, your imagery is fantastic. A wonderful write on the beginning of new life, nurturing life and then setting it free regardless of how much love you have given. I like the ending too, where you talk about becoming one and growing together. A beautiful comment on life, it could relate to a lot of things. A parent and child perhaps, this makes the mind ponder the endless possibilities. You rock!

[Electric Scribe]

Right on, thank you so much for the stellar review. I am glad you enjoyed it. Yes I saw there were many routes for interpretation and connection, life is such a beautiful thing. The connection we share with each living thing, the possibilities are endless. We will always be together until they day we are one. Even that thinking about that blows my mind, and allows me to enjoy each new life I see/meet.

Ahh, life of nature so beautifully written out here! It's amazing what nature does to the gifts that we plant! As it is not a reminder but a gift that we give solely because we are all human are we not. What we give to this life we live in is something only we know is ours truly. The bliss of it is something we truly cherish and we know the time is right it is beautifully given to us in a beauty like no other. It is magical as they say as it is also lovely! Life is full of surprises but truly we are a unique surprise of our own when we leave our footprint that is from our soul that will never be forgotten easily!

Thanks man for the share! Have a great rest of your week and it's wonderful that you could share this amazing piece great sir :)
