Ginseng family

You are seen as weak and blown by many
Your petals as white as fresh paint
The globe-like motion of your body
Loses its wheel-like shape
The shell as white as salt
The core as dark as pepper
Australia’s sandy soil is your home
As the whistling takes you and your dome
Your petite petals
Far, far, far you travel
Until you stop beneath pebbles
You thrive in the sadness of the rain
And the joy of the sun
In your garden, your forever home
