“Roots Reaching for Morning Light”

A quiet burst of green rises from the dark soil,

slender stems blushing with soft red tones

as they stretch outward like small, determined wanderers.

Cradled in a sun‑bright pot, the plant leans into its own becoming—

a tangle of life unfolding, patient and unhurried,

gathering light, gathering time,

growing in the gentle language only plants speak.
