Phyto Realism

We the watchers of the elements
Arching over our intense reign
Loyal to the laws in force above
Seeping nourishment through the vein

Sun showers pour in our cup
Cradling the drink of the day
Branches hold our alignment
Into perfect balance we sway

Some release their primitive grasp
In the peace of the ripened season
We are all but pampered guests
Unfazed by reality's reason
