Swiftly, the buried lines of life burrow downwards, spirals unending, Spreading lower, pulsing souls sleep softly dreaming, Their half-glimpsed reality rising in a trunk of silence, the gnarled survivor. Realised through blinded eye, branches burst forth, marking chance; Engulfing and encompassing, they sit in skylines as shelter to change, Life born forth from an earthy womb, expelled, self-stripped, to white Seeds sown by a mother watching eternal, forever in her shadow - Their shadow. Cast across the heavens, now punctuated by new blooms, Light.
