Tethered

Tethered

A Poem by Drew Given
"

Talking flowers or something

"

The two flowers grew together

Below the ground, their roots were tethered

They grew equally, side by side

From each other they could never hide

'I wonder what's beyond here' said one flower to the other

'What's wrong with right here?' asked his brother

'It just feels small, it's just a thought'

'At least you're not a flower pot'

The flower frowned and looked away

His brother's mind he'd never sway

His wants were simple, he hated change

His present location was his range

So the flower said no more of this

But his brother was not amiss

Though of change he wasn't fond

More important was their bond

When the flower wasn't looking

His brother started uprooting

When the flower noticed, he was in shock

'I thought you'd never leave that spot'

His brother smiled as the wind took hold

'Well, today I'm feeling bold'

Happily, they flew together

To the ground no longer tethered
