Creative Challenge 256 ~ Natural

With the planting of a seed

So begins a thing naturally

Small beginnings like the creep of moss on rock

Grow it in a gradual bloom of green fingers

Until less rock and more breathing thing

Its life curls and climbs

Organic in spirit

To its deepest root

While the days play gardener

One soul bears fruit and

Another blossoms

Feeding the feather tongues and bellies

Of winged creatures in their quest

For honey.

Natural as the curves sculpted

In sand and wood by wind

And stroking waves

Two find a purpose in existence

Entwined inextricably

Exposed to the elements and

Yet enduring rooted deep upon stone.

Human endeavor cannot conceive what

Is birthed by fragile seed and

Cannot reproduce what unearthly forces

Cause to grow

Permitted only to watch

Nurture and wonder

At the fertility of love.
