Roots
Deeply grounded,
Growing out and over each other
Intertwined,
Exposed,
Strong yet flexible,
Holding up a legacy,
Allowing me to discover
To step on
And move forward into the future,
Allowing me to reach out
To hold onto for support,
Forcing me to admire
To think of the time passing by,
Hundreds of years old some of these,
Those around me almost there,
Others getting closer,
My own wrinkles starting to show,
To be exposed,
Just like those I walk on,
Hold onto,
And admire today,
Life at its best
