BAMBOO – today
I walk around your base
Just to fathom a taste
Your green transforms me
your sound beckons
Can I?
Will I?
Become like you, a tree
Held down and subject to wrecking?
yet always rising up from my roots
again, and again I extend my shoots
Knowing from where I came, and
to where I will return to be
the fullest extent of who I am, ME!
