We flow and fall peacefully,
Seeping into the ground, tasteless but sweet.
After all, the seeds are there year-round,
Waiting to be replenished.
Envisioning themselves as fruit,
Ripe or bitter, yet plentiful,
Enough to sustain the ground below.
Like a stream, we bend against the terrain,
Settle beneath the leaves and emerge into humanity.
Behold a garden of orchids,
Blooming in a field of eternal promises designed just for us.
