among the tide pools
and puddles alike
are ecosystems
that thrive
like the memories in the mind
twisted roots growing
and escaping finding
holes to grow through
their obstacles reaching towards the sun
reaching towards heaven
the deepest recess of the mind are covered with vines
by the conscious being
we’ve become adaptively to natural forces guided by intuition
and experience
moving towards
enlightenment
though we may heal crooked
with understand and shallow in depth
