grow

grow

grown from the core of earth,
spring roots, sprout upward
ripe vines and cover ground
with green...
leaves shed, due winter's grace,
nipped away and
buried in the soil.

brown dirt, deep brown heritage
mixes with the red clay...
sturdy, strong
it will stain your feet
as you play,
pull weeds, bury roots,
grow
to plant life in your garden.
