The Unknown

I'm constantly reminded of the other flowers that are able to bloom but can't seem to get the seed I've planted to grow leaves
All of these roots have spread throughout this vase but are confined by the walls of glass that can only be seen by the outside
More by more the roots start to put pressure on the vase, cracking it, allowing only the strongest roots to push through and spread out
They connect to other strong roots from the other plants that had roots strong enough to break their vases
Then this new supply of nutrients is carried between new plants creating new buds which eventually bloom into something new
Unless the plants reject each other, and start fighting for nutrients until there's none left
Leaving both of them wilted and dying
But it all depends on the strength of the roots to break free of that vase
That vase that confines the potential of the plant to bud and bloom
You'll never know if your flower will be left wilted, but a wilted flower drops new seeds, allowing new plants to grow outside of that vase that once confined them
That's the beauty of it.

I like this poem it seems so inspiring and powerful the imagery is outstanding in my opinion and I like how you made the flower symbolize life and this is a very beautiful piece of writing.
