Jumbled together
Knocking and bumping
Tearing sounds
A flash of light
Then falling, falling
Deep down
In the dark cool
A quiver and a tremble
Nearby a sliding, slithering
A scrapping, scratching
Something passes by
Distant muted sounds
Warbling, gurgling
Chirping and buzzing
In the deep cool
A tiny touch of warmth
Penetrates to the core
Then cool smooth flowing
Pores open and receptive
Absorb minuscule droplets
Soft and damp, warming
Swelling, expanding, cracking
Vulnerable softness exposed
Slowly, gently easing
Threads chasing down
Then drinking deeply when found
Pushing, stretching up and up
Climbing towards the warmth
Journeying through the dark
Suddenly bursting through
Tiny spears of green
Dividing and unfolding wide
Greeting the world
Embracing the gentle breeze
And soaking up the sun
