My Muse decided on a poem.
Roots
Revealed by the eroded earth
Spindly, twisting fingers, laid bare
Within their numerous fissures
Tiny creatures take refuge there
Moss growing in damp crevices
Bringing colour to the grey
Patterns of light and shadow
Make numerous images play
Strands of ivy twisting upward,
Slowly consuming its host
Feeding off wrinkled bark
Crumbling it into compost
Growing steadily each year
Nourished by the sun and rain
Weathered by the seasons
Its character all too plain
