“a leafy bloom’s pledge"
Firm will enters through hidden morphemes,
a vow carried without leaf or bloom.
Resolve bends but does not shatter,
its path refusing the easy blossom.
Leaf trembles against the restless air,
flower opens to a waning flame.
Soil shifts beneath uncertain steps,
and measure falters in unspoken time.
Vows rise in breath’s hollow
cadence moves with the turning sky.
Their song gathers in unmeasured flight,
and hours scatter into widening space.

Here the seed of thought sprouts in linguistic plant. Morphemes grow into roots of meaning, stems of direction, leaves of gathering strength and the flower of a poem that sends its pollen adrift on the breeze of time unmeasured to shores undiscovered. We never know how a poem or even a phrase may pollenate another poet. Brilliant Cryptic a fave
A most exquisite review. Thanks my friend, Soren 🕊️🙏🏻
Always a pleasure my friend
Well-written, my friend, this poem speaks to me. The poem contrasts the strength of resolve with the uncertainty of existence and the transient nature of time.

Arqios, this unfolds with such gentle gravity…a vow carried in breath and sky, trembling yet unbroken. Your imagery always finds the right temperature for the truth underneath. Well done, my poetic friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
