Cracked Ground

A single bloom breaks the stone,
a fragile voice in a harsh tone.
Through gray grit, it pushes high,
a green rebellion against the sky.
In the city’s choke, where life feels tight,
a stubborn growth claims its right.
It teaches me to dig and fight,
to find my way through the endless night.
