As They Know the Roots that Make Them

-------As They Know the Roots that Make Them-------

Where the earth is fertile roots go deep,

and when roots go deep

the stronger branches become;

and those are 

able to hold fruit

heavy with the sweetest kind of love.

Birds flock and children swing

to and from

what they trust the most,

and like the Mother, our own little earths

bear the trust and

tend toward fertility,

without any effort to remember

but rather just to let and allow

the seed to grow.

As we know already the roots that make us.
