Deeply rooted

Changed by love, transformed by an unjust killing, made a new creature...

I live metamorphosized as an eternal plant, rooted upwards, into the Heavens-

this is my reality

this is my being

this is my hope.

Even as fire injures my earthly existence

my true being remains strong.

When it seems as though I cannot breath

or survive a moment longer

my roots stretch into the true reality

and I once more

find life.
