Analysis of Roots
Day after day,
sun after sun,
moon after moon,
you and I become one.
Grown together like roots,
our strength runs years’ deep.
I promise you my heart,
for yours to keep.
Entangled in your arms,
you I wrap around,
like roots of a great tree
deep in the ground.
Not the wearing of water
or the roaring of wind
could ever break us
in two again.
