Ancient Roots
The tip of each root twists neatly
where earth holds it so sweetly,
its tendrils—like fingers grown
deep— cradle soil, embrace
and keep the moisture
tight with anchored
might, ground to
crown, renown,
tree.

Humble but oh so much more... just learnt that the majority of the Earth's oxygen is formed in the Ocean and not by trees, bummer! Good one compadre🙏🏻🕊️
The rhyme, meter, image, metaphor, all these not sure what more but there is something special about this poem that grabs me and for that unidentifiable element that identifies all great poems from the normal this gets a fave.
Like those squares on the periodic table that are absolutely blank! 🙏🏻🕊️
