Seed is sown and the embryo is formed
Legitimate or not, radicle develops into root
Root penetrates into the surface of the soil
Absorbs water and food, turns seed into plant

I loved this poem, we are all seeds of various kinds, distributed throughout the world, born from our root stock, we may display a very small diferance to our mothers, but an apple pip, will not grow to be a grape. thank you for sharing, regards Bob

A rather complicated subject handled well by Vidi. An uprooted tree...sometimes needs to be uprooted for better growth, light and other factors. On the other hand if it took seed in its native soil means there was a real chance of existence. As I said it's complicated and you have handled it very well. Thanks Vidi.

. your use of the tree as a mataphor to convey your message is really very apt.its a poem that raises many valid questions. i am in complete agreement with you. i too need a sense of belonging and can't wander like a gypsy. each to his own.

A very meaningful poem….a metaphoric botanical concept…for growth we need proper ecological system and if we negate it and adopt the contrastive we are doomed for ever…people should think twice before moving and uprooting themselves …I really liked reading this thoughtful piece….
