Rusted can traces porcelain edge
Ficus benjamina drinks the pledge
Monstera leaves unfold in steam
Roots remember every gentle stream
Water finds its ancient way
Through the spout at break of day
Chlorophytum drinks it deep
Promises the soil will keep
Spathiphyllum bows its crown
Droplets fall like mercury down
Pothos trails on wooden shelf
Drinking life unto itself
Water finds its ancient way
Through the spout at break of day
Chlorophytum drinks it deep
Promises the soil will keep
Kettle sighs in counterpoint
Basil leaves catch every joint
Ocimum drinks the vapor rise
Green fingers reach toward skies
Nitrogen and phosphorus
Dance in the dark humus
Roots tap morse code through the clay
Botanist smiles, walks away
Sansevieria stands so tall
Drinks the rust and drinks it all
Ferrum oxide feeds the green
Sweetest medicine unseen
Water finds its ancient way
Through the spout at break of day
Chlorophytum drinks it deep
Promises the soil will keep
Morning light hits copper rim
Kettle sings its final hymn
Ferns unfurl on windowsill
Roots drink deep and drink their fill
Water finds its ancient way
Through the spout at break of day
Chlorophytum drinks it deep
Promises the soil will keep
Iron feeds what roots require
Botanist tends the quiet fire
Steam settles. Can rests. Peace grows.
