Coming through her roots

Eliminating superfluous matter and the unwanted

ornamentation
at the unveiling,
shaped up and pruned,

full blast, she sat proudly looking sharper
than ever,

she revealed all her blade-like greens,

life and love and what really matters –
wit and her wisdom and eelgrass understanding…

Breathless, unstirred by the spume of the daily headlines,

as the chill of the evening finally settles,

she ponders
the seasonality of life.

In the world of Flora, there are
summer annuals,
winter annuals,
biennials, and perennials, –

the seductive phenomenon
known as hues.
