I’ve spent so many years fighting them
Fighting their life-giving pull
Fighting each new shoot
Each new line of life adding strength and security
I’ve spent so many years searching for them
The roots that were severed
Cut off by new opportunities
Too perfect to pass on
Too necessary for continued growth
Replanted with more room for love
Replanted, but still severed and disorienting
I’ve been fighting
I’ve been yearning
I’ve been trying so hard
No matter what reality is.
