Roots Go Deep

Chrome magnolias
oh so dreamy
Metal flower
oh so gleamy
Shine your light
in my eyes
Open your petals
start to rise
Spread your light
around your world
As your leaves
become unfurled
Pistils are hot
and that's ok
The bees will land
and fly away
With the life
you have created
And the hope
you’ve reinstated
For a better life
and a better year
Without sadness
without fear
Create a seed
of new beginning
Let's begin the bell
is ringing
Clueing us
to the season
One of birth
one of reason
The roots we tap
intertwine
In each other
we hope to find
Another connection
that we can make
Something strong
it will not break
In this shield
the blossom will grow
Laughter persists
and time will slow
Endless summer suns
power this gift
Slowly building
to the shift
At which time
our roots know when
We’re reborn
alive again.
