The breath of life joins the ring of oaks,
remembering
like magma echoes silica mounting truth into yolk.
The fern pleas warning to the mothers’ cry,
listening when to open allows the love to survive;
when the call comes heralding then it’s time to rise.
A turtle tumbles down the cavern of regret;
the epiphany
of where home is, is one not soon to forget.
As druids reign ceremony from the hearth,
strong roots create sweet fruits unhurt
to awaken all scentient beings yearning,
and to melt the bindings of captivity.

Uh oh, you might be taking The Best Poetry On Steemit Crown away from @beginningtoend.
I rarely give out 100% votes, but this deserves it :)

Thank you so much for saying that - how could I get the crown? I want it. :P
Thank you for seeing how deserving this poem is - it was a blast to write. Do you have any ideas as to where I can post my poems to get more people to see them? I'm on qurator steembasicincome and MSP already... Cheers

Thank you for the inspiration - I totally agree with you :D
@miraeff I'm really glad you liked the poem. It was fun to create it. Thank you for your expression. I look forward to seeing more of your work. @amoonnile
Thank you for inviting me here @lonestarpoet. The poem cries out:
Thank you for sharing a life lesson from Biology. The fern was planted and fed by the mother's care but one day must be independent. Just like the turtle that swims away from home.
Finally you remind us that strong roots create sweet fruits. The Oaks from the beginning of the poem come back awakened to bring fruits that set us free.
The poem says a lot for a few words.
This is what I get out of it. It is a law of nature to be free and independent but first we must be nurtured. This is human life as well. Sweet^^
Thank you so much for this sweet synopsis of this poem!

To be honest I’m not a big fan of rhyming poetry, but there are many great lines here that help me it like it. I especially like the opening line, and also the fern pleads warning...
After seeing your post with newspaper quotes in a proper jacket I can certainly ascertain that you don't like rhyming poetry but I'm so ecstatic that you still found joy in this poem here ! Thank you for your insightful comment.. I was going for nature/druidic imagery
