Cracks

Cracks in the Rock

From a cone, 

the tiny seed falls

lightly on the wind, 

close to its beginning

Into a tiny crack

in basalt below.

From a seed,

roots sprout about

quickly in its home,

the sapling feeding

and seeking sun

growing daily:

life finds a way.

Note: 

Within two months, 

the tap root 

will grow 20 inches

and eventually roots will

grow to six feet deep, 

and may spread 150 feet.
