Taking a step back
I looked into a universe of green.
Ferns among the blades of grass
Running wild and free
Pressing through layers in space.
Stitched together.
Grouped as if not to release
Even a singe one from the earth
But ferns are content in their subtle grasp.
They hold on gently to each other
Knowing all the while
There is much to be seen
through the many shades of green.
Ferns are remarkably strong yet delicate plants. They group together almost like a herd of animals. They can also flourish at a fast rate, just like any weed. Ferns are usually considered a “behind the scenes” kind of plant. They do not need the spotlight, preferring to take the back seat to focal flowers in bouquets. But ferns also hold on to each other in the most delicate fashion. They attach to each other through the fine details in the tips of their leaves, locking in a way that provides a kind of subtle support. There is a sort of wisdom in this ability to hold on gently. Supporting others with grace is truly a remarkable feat.
