Of all the multitude of exuberant plants
Each and every one of them returns to its root
Without any knowing that it is doing so.
They all are as in the state of flourishing chaos,
And during all their short florescence
They do not leave their roots even for a while.
But if they knew that they all are returning
To their roots, they would be instinctively
Leaving them. Why would they strive to do so?
They do not have what is not enough for them,
Their flowering is as good as a feast; therefore
They do not ask after their roots' particular name.
From rooting to flowering they don't seek to spy out
Their own nature, and thus it is that they come to life
Of themselves, in their spontaneously beautiful way.
Always,
Deborah
Plants are certainly masters of survival, but without a means to reproduce, they wouldn't survive at all.
