Vitamin Root

It’s beautiful! I hear myself

   exclaim. My ardent voice

       surprises me. Such flattery

              has not been my first choice.

I gaze around this foreign ground --

     its gentle, greening land.

I’ve been aloof since we first moved,

    but now I understand

Time, like spring, has softened me.

I’ve stayed here long enough

  to find, despite my stubborn mind

     I'm in a a place I love.

Unseen, my countless memories

   like roots have spread my soul 

      across this place.

I smile and say

      I guess 
         I must be home.
