Flowerpot

Mud within its hollow belly,
Supporting a beautiful creation of life,
Restricting it within its boundaries.
A bud springing from a seed,
Life,
Encompassed in a rigid case.
Roots clinging,
Shaping,
Changing,
In order to bloom.
Varieties of nature,
Kept within,
No chances to stretch out,
Into the unknown.
Marks of harsh times,
And the battering of storms,
Engraved into clay.
Flourishing until
Winter.
