Yearning for sunlight In this warm summer daydream My stem reaches out From the moist earth around me Into the sunshine I reach out for the heavens Just learning to sprout In the breath of the morning Down by the river With the crisp air around me I  bask in the glow In the still of the daylight Warmed by its bright rays Mesmerized by the dewdrops I can now cast my shadow

Sprout (Choka)
Yearning for sunlight In this warm summer daydream My stem reaches out From the moist earth around me Into the sunshine I reach out for the heavens Just learning to sprout In the breath of the morning Down by the river With the crisp air around me I  bask in the glow In the still of the daylight Warmed by its bright rays Mesmerized by the dewdrops I can now cast my shadow
Started this poem about a week ago. Then my body decided to have a stroke. Spent four days in the hospital and then came back and finished the poem. A brush with mortality can surely sharpen the senses. All is well though.
