It’s so weird to think
that just a few months ago
this beautiful plant
was just a tiny seed.
It was hiding dormant
in a shell,
but then it emerged
and now it lives.
Growing, reaching
for the sun.
Reacting to stress and
its environment,
breathing
surviving
thriving.
What was once a seedling,
is now just trying to live.
I relate to the cycle.
Life is flourishing
all around us.
