Roots Run Deep

By
Roots Run Deep

Lone tree stands strong beneath
luminous skies split
by wandering stars as
alabaster spheres shiver
portending shattered worlds above
battlefield’s ruins kept at bay.
Proud monument, past guide remains
ancestral promontory soaring high against the gale
illusion’s bubbles burst, smash, splinter and disintegrate
fragmented paradise crumbles into dust
feeding roots run deep.
