Wait on the Planter

Leaves and Roots

The roots feed leaves,

The leaves feed roots,

Working so fine together.

But a transplant is done,

And the roots are damaged,

And the leaves begin to wither

and die from their ends, waiting

for roots to feed the leaves again.

But shaven roots must grow to heal

drying leaves and yet shaven roots

need drying leaves to heal the roots.

After a time of waiting… Roots feeding

leaves and leaves feeding roots, after

a time of leaves patiently waiting for

roots and roots patiently waiting on

leaves, both waiting on the Planter

to both water and bring back

life for growth, later

bringing forth

fruit.

Together,

we are all waiting on God
