Rooted(Anchored In Stone) Poem by Shaakiera Schroeder

My roots are your roots,
All that nourishes you, also nourishes me
That which devastates you, will destroy me
At first you stood in the center of the world
So sturdy…so strong…a Rock to all,
Life ripped from you_
Shattered to pieces…
Shattered to the core.
My roots are your roots,
When you bleed,
I bleed.
Our souls entwined…
Leave the comfort of the earth…
My roots tenderly, envelope every little piece,
Come undone…holding together…
Never letting go…
My Roots is your Rock,
Your Rock is my Roots,
Our love…rooted in the earth,
Our Friendship….
Anchored in stone.
