great observation — well put. So cozy.

What a vivid tapestry—delicate diatoms, ivy’s whispered hymns, the earth’s alchemy of decay. You’ve cradled life’s quiet cycles in such reverent, fragile light. May your roots deepen in their song.

Let diatom’s dust, a veil of sand,
entangle their slimy tread—
they falter where the ancient earth
has claimed them, grain by grain.

Sink a dish in amber waves,
let stale brew lure their crawl—
they feast and fade in honeyed sleep,
unseen by beady eye.

Plant thy rosemary, thy sage—
bitter thorns where shadows play.
Moonlight sips on parsley’s breath,
as barriers of ivy sway.

No curse, but pact with soil’s deep song,
where life, in death, finds breath again—
a garden’s breath, a slug’s last sigh,
both turned to humus when.
