Rooted Flotsam – Monochromes in a Colourful Mind

At the riverside low tide,

branches re-sprouting and grafting onto dying tree trunks,

Flotsam of life still strives to thrive,

though it seems like nature’s design has been defied.

Seeds turned to resistant grasses,

spotting on the ground around these living pillars,

a testament to nature’s persistence,

and her ability to adapt and innovate.

The wind blows fine sands and pollens,

encrusted with mosses and fungi,

excited to grow when they are blown,

A new symphony of life, nature’s band.

The riverside low tide tells a story,

of resilience, adaptation, and growth,

a reminder that life finds its hold,

even in the midst of death and decay.
