Tiny
Tender shoots,
Outgrowths of an uprooted tree,
Stir and wake from a dormant state,
Thrusting their way up, crack open a hard
Stone surface; in search of sunlight,
They claim their right
To live
Resilience of Nature and Life !!

How true! The resilience of nature is incredible. These tiny shoots carry the message of growth, which is natural if we stop meddling in the ways of Mother Nature.
Outstanding!
