Roots

We grew up in the same soil,
drew water from the same deep well,
our roots entangled underground
in ways that only roots can tell.

The years may take us to different places,
the winds may bend us differently,
but underneath, the roots remember
everything they grew to be.

I am taller for your growing,
you are steadier for mine—
two trees that share a hidden language
written along the root-line.
