Tendril

Tendril

A tuber of sobriety 
sprouts in the mind
It swells and thickens
from a root to a vine
 

A tendril meanders
and wavers
but all the while
still climbs...

The impossible 
becoming possible 
with discipline 
and time

The tendrils wrap around in support and will keep climbing when nourished… with awareness and wisdom. Absolutely love this reflective piece. Happy writings,

Hi Syd,

I respond to your powerful poem with a haiku.

Saving our lost souls
Aid in their sobriety
No temptations
