Riding the wind,
a helicopter seed
takes flight –
soaring high, dipping low,
a ballet in the sky.
A solo act performed as
nature’s play deserves an encore.
Finding a home,
fertile soil’s stage
a red maple demi-plié –
resilient, ready,
strength in every bend.
The seedling grows,
reaching for the light –
determined, primed,
persistence guiding its path.
A wooden deck,
an obstacle to conquer –
no match for
flexible stems,
adaptable, searching,
basking in the sunlight,
dancing with the wind.
