I need to write.
To be right. In the norm.
A flower blooms.
A tree blossoms.

The pulling of roots.
I’m listening.
I’m hearing.
What makes the ground move?

This pen. My paper.
A flower’s stem.
The tree’s trunk.
Wind stirs.

I think. Rain.
Storms. Clearings.
The earth shakes.
My world spins.

Out there. This poem.
Soul’s fragrance.
Flora
from me to you.
