Rooted in one place,
is a hopeless thought that lives with disgrace.
Rooted in one place,
a tree with a canape that breeds the moss and mold,
as it blocks the light from the dark and cold.
Rooted in one place,
is a pain that echoes through the night,
holding tight the blight of judgement and the blinders of sight.
Rooted in one place,
a tree with a system of nourishment and care
that penetrates the ground
and breaks through the dark and cold air.
Rooted in one place,
the roots grow in love and grace
though a thick and ominous place.
Rooted in one place,
the endless Spirit of life
spirals far from this earth-bound place,
into the dimension of mortal fate.
Rooted in one place,
the continuous flow of immortal life.
expands the earthly dimensions
into the spiritual land.
Rooted in life
is the expansive flow
without restrictions for all souls to grow.

Thank you James,
I am enjoying the photo prompts. It has been a nice way to get back to poetry. I send you many blessings and prayers for good health, happiness and prosperity.
A beautiful poem, Mary. I love the change from despair to hope. I have added it to the round-up for tomorrow.
Thank you, I am glad you liked that! All despair is the roots of hope and growth. LOL…I have learned this well!
Without that darkness, we would never even noice the light š
So true!
